1 Peter - Chapter: 3


3:1	In like manner, the wives, be ye subject to your own husbands, that even if certain are disobedient to the word, through the conversation of the wives, without the word, they may be won,
3:2	having beheld your pure behaviour in fear,
3:3	whose adorning -- let it not be that which is outward, of plaiting of hair, and of putting around of things of gold, or of putting on of garments,
3:4	but -- the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible thing of the meek and quiet spirit, which is, before God, of great price,
3:5	for thus once also the holy women who did hope on God, were adorning themselves, being subject to their own husbands,
3:6	as Sarah was obedient to Abraham, calling him `sir,' of whom ye did become daughters, doing good, and not fearing any terror.
3:7	The husbands, in like manner, dwelling with `them', according to knowledge, as to a weaker vessel -- to the wife -- imparting honour, as also being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered.
3:8	And finally, being all of one mind, having fellow-feeling, loving as brethren, compassionate, courteous,
3:9	not giving back evil for evil, or railing for railing, and on the contrary, blessing, having known that to this ye were called, that a blessing ye may inherit;
3:10	for `he who is willing to love life, and to see good days, let him guard his tongue from evil, and his lips -- not to speak guile;
3:11	let him turn aside from evil, and do good, let him seek peace and pursue it;
3:12	because the eyes of the Lord `are' upon the righteous, and His ears -- to their supplication, and the face of the Lord `is' upon those doing evil;'
3:13	and who `is' he who will be doing you evil, if of Him who is good ye may become imitators?
3:14	but if ye also should suffer because of righteousness, happy `are ye'! and of their fear be not afraid, nor be troubled,
3:15	and the Lord God sanctify in your hearts. And `be' ready always for defence to every one who is asking of you an account concerning the hope that `is' in you, with meekness and fear;
3:16	having a good conscience, that in that in which they speak against you as evil-doers, they may be ashamed who are traducing your good behaviour in Christ;
3:17	for `it is' better doing good, if the will of God will it, to suffer, than doing evil;
3:18	because also Christ once for sin did suffer -- righteous for unrighteous -- that he might lead us to God, having been put to death indeed, in the flesh, and having been made alive in the spirit,
3:19	in which also to the spirits in prison having gone he did preach,
3:20	who sometime disbelieved, when once the long-suffering of God did wait, in days of Noah -- an ark being preparing -- in which few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water;
3:21	also to which an antitype doth now save us -- baptism, (not a putting away of the filth of flesh, but the question of a good conscience in regard to God,) through the rising again of Jesus Christ,
3:22	who is at the right hand of God, having gone on to heaven -- messengers, and authorities, and powers, having been subjected to him.


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.


3:1	Likewyse let the wyues be in subieccion to their hussbandes, that euen they which beleue not the worde, maye without the worde be wonne by ye couersacion of the wyues,
3:2	whan they beholde yor pure conuersacion in feare.
3:3	Whose apparell shal not be outwarde wt broyded heer, & hanginge on of golde, or in puttynge on of gorgious araye,
3:4	but let ye inwarde ma of ye hert be vncorrupte wt a meke & a quyete sprete, which before God is moch set by.
3:5	For after this maner in the olde tyme, dyd ye holy weme which trusted in God, tyer the selues, & were obedient vnto their hussbades:
3:6	Euen as Sara obeyed Abraham, and called him lorde: whose doughters ye are, as loge as ye do well, not beynge afrayed for eny trouble.
3:7	Likewyse ye men, dwell with them acordinge vnto knowlege, geuynge honor vnto the wife, as to the weaker vessel: & as vnto the yt are heyres with you of the grace of life, that youre prayers be not let.
3:8	But in conclusion be ye all of one mynde, one suffre with another, loue as brethren, be pitefull, be curteous.
3:9	Recopence not euell for euell, nether rebuke for rebuke: but cotrary wyse, blesse: and knowe that ye are called therto, euen yt ye shulde be heyres of ye blessynge.
3:10	For who so listeth to lyue, and wolde fayne se good dayes, Let him refrayne his tonge from euell, and his lippes yt they speake no gyle.
3:11	Let him eschue euell, & do good: Let him seke peace and ensue it.
3:12	For ye eyes of the LORDE are ouer the righteous, & his eares are open vnto their prayers. But ye face of the LORDE beholdeth the yt do euell.
3:13	And who is it that can harme you, yf ye folowe that which is good?
3:14	Not withstodinge blessed are ye, yf ye suffre for righteousnes sake Feare not ye their threatnynge, nether be troubled,
3:15	but sanctifye the LORDE God in youre hertes. Be ready allwayes to geue an answere to euery ma, that axeth you a reason of the hope that is in you, and that with mekenes & feare,
3:16	hauynge a good conscience, that they which bacbyte you as euell doers, maye be ashamed, that they haue falsely accused youre good couersacion in Christ.
3:17	For it is better (yf the wyll of God be so) that ye suffre for well doynge, the for euell doynge.
3:18	For as moch as Christ hath once suffred for oure synnes, ye iust for the vniust, for to brynge vs to God: & was slayne after the flesh, but quyckened after the sprete.
3:19	In the which sprete he also wente, and preached vnto ye spretes that were in preson,
3:20	which in tyme past beleued not, whan God once a bode and suffred pacietly in the tyme of Noe, whyle the Arke was a preparynge: Wherin fewe (that is to saye eight soules) were saued by water.
3:21	Which signifieth baptyme yt now saueth vs: not ye puttinge awaye of the fylth of the flesh, but in yt a good cosciece cosenteth vnto God by ye resurreccion of Iesus Christ,
3:22	which is on the righte hande of God, and is gone in to heaue, angels, power and mighte subdued vnto him.
