1 Peter - Chapter: 3


3:1	Lykewyse let the wyues be in subiectyon to theyr husbandes, that euen they which beleue not the worde, maye wythoute the worde be wonne by the conuersation of the wiues:
3:2	whyle they beholde your pure conuersacion coupled wyth feare.
3:3	Whose apparell shall not be outewarde wyth broyeded heare, and hangynge on of golde, other in puttynge on of gorgyous apparell:
3:4	but let the hyd man of the harte be vncorrupte with a meke and a quyete spyryte, whiche spyryte is before God a thynge muche set by.
3:5	For after thys maner in the olde tyme dyd the holye women whiche trusted in God, tyer them selues, and were obedyente to theyr husbandes
3:6	euen as Sara obeyed Abraham, and called hym Lorde: whose doughters ye are as longe as ye do well, and be not afrayde of euerye shadowe.
3:7	Lykewyse ye men dwell wyth them accordynge to knoweledge, geuynge 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 conclusyon be ye all of one mynd, one suffer wyth another, loue as brethren, be petifull, be curteous,
3:9	not rendringe euyll for euyll, neyther rebuke for rebuke, but contrarywyse, blesse, remembryng that ye are thervnto called, euen that ye shoulde be heyres of blessinge.
3:10	If anye man longe after lyfe, and loueth to se good dayes, let him refrayne his tonge from euil, & his lippes that they speake not gyle.
3:11	Let hym eschue euyll and do good, let him seke peace, and ensue it.
3:12	For the eyes of the Lorde are ouer the rightuous, and his eares are open vnto theyr prayers. But the face of the Lorde beholdeth them that do euil.
3:13	Morouer who is it that wyll harme you, yf ye folowe that whiche is good?
3:14	Notwithstanding happy are ye, yf ye suffre for ryghtuousnes sake. Yea and feare not though they seme terrible vnto you, neither be troubled,
3:15	but sanctifie the Lorde God in your hertes. Be ready alwaies to geue an answere to euery man that axeth you a reason of the hope, that is in you, and that with mekenes & feare,
3:16	hauinge a good conscience, that when they backbyte you as euyl doers, they maye be ashamed, for as muche as they haue falsely accused your good conuersation in Christ.
3:17	It is better (yf the wyll of God be so) that ye suffre for wel doyng, then for euil doinge.
3:18	For as much as Christ hath ones suffered for sinners, the iuste for the vniuste, for to bringe vs to God, and was kylled, as perteininge to the fleshe: but was quickened in the spirite.
3:19	In which spirite, he also wente and preached vnto the spirites that were in prison,
3:20	which were in tyme passed disobedient, when the longe sufferinge of God abode excedinge paciently in the dayes of Noe, whyle the arcke was a preparing wherin fewe (that is to saie .viij. soules) were saued by water,
3:21	which signifyeth baptisme that nowe saueth vs, not the puttinge awaye of the fylth of the fleshe, but in that a good conscience consenteth to God, by the resurreccion of Iesus Christe,
3:22	whyche is on the right hande of God, and is gone into heauen, aungelles, power, and mighte, subdued vnto 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	Likewise, ye wiues, be in subiection to your owne husbands, that if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be wonne by the conuersation of the wiues:
3:2	While they beholde your chaste conuersation coupled with feare:
3:3	Whose adorning, let it not bee that outward adorning, of plaiting the haire, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparell.
3:4	But let it bee the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, euen the ornament of a meeke and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
3:5	For after this manner in the olde time, the holy women also who trusted in God adorned themselues, beeing in subiection vnto their owne husbands.
3:6	Euen as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him Lord, whose daughters ye are as long as ye doe well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
3:7	Likewise ye husbands, dwel with them according to knowledge, giuing honour vnto the wife as vnto the weaker vessel, and as being heires together of the grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered.
3:8	Finally be ye all of one minde, hauing compassion one of another, loue as brethren, be pitifull, be courteous,
3:9	Not rendring euill for euill, or railing for railing: but contrarywise blessing, knowing that yee are thereunto called, that ye should inherite a blessing.
3:10	For hee that will loue life, and see good dayes, let him refraine his tongue from euil, and his lips that they speake no guile:
3:11	Let him eschew euil and do good, let him seeke peace and ensue it.
3:12	For the eyes of the Lord are ouer the righteous, and his eares are open vnto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that doe euill.
3:13	And who is hee that will harme you, if ye bee followers of that which is good?
3:14	But and if ye suffer for righteousnes sake, happy are ye, and be not afraid of their terrour, neither be troubled:
3:15	But sanctifie the Lord God in your hearts, & 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 feare:
3:16	Hauing a good conscience, that whereas they speake euill of you, as of euill doers, they may bee ashamed that falsly accuse your good conuersation in Christ.
3:17	For it is better, if the will of God be so, that yee suffer for well doing, then for euill doing.
3:18	For Christ also hath once suffered for sinnes, the iust for the vniust, that he might bring vs to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit.
3:19	By which also he went and preached vnto the spirits in prison,
3:20	Which sometime were disobedient, when once the long-suffering of God waited in the dayes of Noah, while the Arke was a preparing: wherein few, that is, eight soules were saued by water.
3:21	The like figure whereunto, euen Baptisme, doth also now saue vs, (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answere of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Iesus Christ.
3:22	Who is gone into heauen, and is on the right hand of God, Angels, and authorities, and powers being made subiect vnto him.
