1 Peter - Chapter: 3


3:1	Likewise, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands, so that if any do not obey the word, they also without the word may be won by the conduct of their wives,
3:2	when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied with reverence.
3:3	Do not let your adornment be only an outward appearance, arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on of clothes,
3:4	but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with that which is incorruptible, even the adornment of a meek and quiet spirit, which is of great value in the sight of God.
3:5	Because, in this manner, in old times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being in submission to their own husbands,
3:6	just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror.
3:7	Husbands, likewise, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.
3:8	Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brethren, be tenderhearted, be courteous;
3:9	not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you are called to this, that you should inherit a blessing.
3:10	Because, "He who would love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.
3:11	Let him turn away from evil, and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it.
3:12	Because, the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayers; but the face of the LORD is against those who do evil."
3:13	And who is he who will harm you if you be followers of that which is good?
3:14	But even if you suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed. "And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled."
3:15	But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and reverence;
3:16	having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who falsely accuse your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.
3:17	Because, it is better, if it is the will of God, that you suffer for doing good than for doing evil.
3:18	Because, Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit,
3:19	by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison,
3:20	who formerly were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved by water.
3:21	This is also figurative of that which also now saves us, even baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
3:22	who has gone into heaven and is on the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.


3:1	Likewise let the wiues bee subiect to their husbands, that euen they which obey not the worde, may without the worde be wonne by the conuersation of the wiues,
3:2	While they beholde your pure conuersation, which is with feare.
3:3	Whose apparelling, let it not be that outwarde, with broyded heare, and golde put about, or in putting on of apparell:
3:4	But let it bee the hidde man of the heart, which consisteth in the incorruption of a meeke and quiet spirite, which is before God a thing much set by.
3:5	For euen after this maner in time past did the holy women, which trusted in God, tire them selues, and were subiect to their husbands.
3:6	As Sara obeyed Abraham, and called him Sir: whose daughters ye are, whiles yee doe well, not being afraide of any terrour.
3:7	Likewise ye husbands, dwel with them as men of knowledge, giuing honour vnto the woman, as vnto the weaker vessell, euen as they which are heires together of the grace of life, that your prayers be not interrupted.
3:8	Finally, be ye all of one minde: one suffer with another: loue as brethren: bee pitifull: bee courteous,
3:9	Not rendring euil for euill, neither rebuke for rebuke: but contrarywise blesse, knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should be heires of blessing.
3:10	For if any man long after life, and to see good dayes, let him refraine his tongue from euill, and his lippes that they speake no guile.
3:11	Let him eschew euil, and do good: let him seeke peace, and follow after it.
3:12	For the eyes of the Lord are ouer the righteous, and his eares are open vnto their prayers: and the face of the Lord is against them that do euil.
3:13	And who is it that will harme you, if ye follow that which is good?
3:14	Notwithstanding blessed are ye, if ye suffer for righteousnes sake. Yea, feare not their feare, neither be troubled.
3:15	But sanctifie the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready alwayes to giue an answere to euery man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you, with meekenesse and reuerence,
3:16	Hauing a good coscience, that whe they speake euill of you as of euill doers, they may be ashamed, which slander your good conuersation in Christ.
3:17	For it is better (if the will of God be so) that ye suffer for well doing, then for euil doing.
3:18	For Christ also hath once suffered for sinnes, the iust for the vniust, that he might bring vs to God, and was put to death concerning the flesh, but was quickened by the spirit.
3:19	By the which hee also went, and preached vnto the spirits that are in prison.
3:20	Which were in time passed disobedient, when once the long suffering of God abode in the dayes of Noe, while the Arke was preparing, wherein fewe, that is, eight soules were saued in the water.
3:21	Whereof the baptisme that nowe is, answering that figure, (which is not a putting away of the filth of the flesh, but a confident demaunding which a good conscience maketh to God) saueth vs also by the resurrection of Iesus Christ,
3:22	Which is at the right hand of God, gone into heauen, to whom the Angels, and Powers, and might are subiect.


3:1	Lykewyse let the wyves be in subieccio to their husbades that eve they which beleve not the worde maye with out the worde be wonne by the conversacion of ye wyves:
3:2	whill they beholde youre pure coversacion coupled with feare.
3:3	Whose apparell shall not be outwarde with broyded heare and hanginge on of golde other in puttinge on of gorgious aparell:
3:4	but let the hyd man of the herte be incorrupt with a meke and a quyet sprete which sprete is before God a thinge moche set by.
3:5	For after this maner in the olde tyme dyd the holy wemen which trusted in God tyer the selves and were obediet to their husbades
3:6	eve as Sara obeyed Abraha and called him Lorde: whose doughters ye are as longe as ye do well and be not afrayde of every shadowe.
3:7	Lyke wyse ye men dwell with them accordinge to knowledge gevinge honoure vnto the wyfe as vnto the weaker vessell and as vnto them that are heyres also of the grace of lyfe that youre prayers be not let.
3:8	In coclusion be ye all of one mynde one suffre with another love as brethren be petifull be courteous
3:9	not redringe evyll for evyll nether rebuke for rebuke: but contrary wyse blesse remembringe yt ye are thervnto called even yt ye shuld be heyres of blessinge.
3:10	If eny ma longe after life and loveth to se good dayes let him refrayne his tonge fro evyll and his lippes that they speake not gyle.
3:11	Let him eschue evyll and do good: let him seke peace and ensue it.
3:12	For ye eyes of ye Lorde are over ye righteous and his eares are open vnto their prayers. But ye face of the Lorde beholdeth the that do evyll.
3:13	Moreover who is it that will harme you yf ye folowe yt which is good?
3:14	Not withstondynge happy are ye yf ye suffre for rightewesnessis sake. Ye and feare not though they seme terrible vnto you nether be troubled:
3:15	but sanctifie the Lorde God in youre hertes. Be redy all wayes to geve an answere to every man that axeth you a reson of the hope that is in you and that with meaknes and feare:
3:16	havinge a good consciece that when they backbyte you as evyll doars they maye be ashamed for as moche as they have falsely accused youre good conversacion in Christ.
3:17	It is better (yf the wyll of God be so) that ye suffre for well doynge then for evyll doynge.
3:18	For as moche as Christ hath once suffered for synnes ye iuste for ye vniuste forto bringe vs to God and was kylled as pertayninge to the flesshe: but was quyckened in the sprete.
3:19	In which sprete he also wet and preached vnto the spretes that were in preson
3:20	which were in tyme passed disobedient when the longe sufferinge of God abode excedinge paciently in the dayes of Noe whyll the arcke was a preparinge wherin feawe (that is to saye.viii soules) were saved by water
3:21	which signifieth baptim that now saveth vs not ye puttinge awaye of ye filth of the flesshe but in that a good conscience consenteth to God by ye resurreccio of Iesus Christ
3:22	which is oure right honde of God and is gone into heve angels power and myght subdued vnto him.
