Likewise{G3668}, ye wives{G1135}, be in subjection{G5293}{(G5746)} to your own{G2398} husbands{G435}; that{G2443}, if any{G1536} obey not{G544}{(G5719)} the word{G3056}, they{G2770} also{G2532} may{G2770} without{G427} the word{G3056} be won{G2770}{(G5686)} by{G1223} the conversation{G391} of the wives{G1135};

While they behold{G2029}{(G5660)} your{G5216} chaste{G53} conversation{G391} coupled with{G1722} fear{G5401}.

Whose{G3739} adorning{G2889} let it{G2077} not{G3756} be{G2077}{(G5749)} that outward{G1855} adorning of plaiting{G1708} the hair{G2359}, and{G2532} of wearing{G4025} of gold{G5553}, or{G2228} of putting on{G1745} of apparel{G2440};

But{G235} let it be the hidden{G2927} man{G444} of the heart{G2588}, in{G1722} that which is not corruptible{G862}, even the ornament of a meek{G4239} and{G2532} quiet{G2272} spirit{G4151}, which{G3739} is{G2076}{(G5748)} in the sight{G1799} of God{G2316} of great price{G4185}.

For{G1063} after this manner{G3779} in the old time{G4218} the holy{G40} women{G1135} also{G2532}, who{G3588} trusted{G1679}{(G5723)} in{G1909} God{G2316}, adorned{G2885}{(G5707)} themselves{G1438}, being in subjection{G5293}{(G5746)} unto their own{G2398} husbands{G435}:

Even as{G5613} Sara{G4564} obeyed{G5219}{(G5656)} Abraham{G11}, calling{G2564}{(G5723)} him{G846} lord{G2962}: whose{G3739} daughters{G5043} ye are{G1096}{(G5675)}, as long as ye do well{G15}{(G5723)}, and{G2532} are{G5399} not{G3361} afraid{G5399}{(G5740)} with any{G3367} amazement{G4423}.

Likewise{G3668}, ye husbands{G435}, dwell with{G4924}{(G5723)} them according to{G2596} knowledge{G1108}, giving{G632}{(G5723)} honour{G5092} unto the wife{G1134}, as{G5613} unto the weaker{G772} vessel{G4632}, and{G2532} as{G5613} being heirs together{G4789} of the grace{G5485} of life{G2222}; that{G1519} your{G5216} prayers{G4335} be{G1581} not{G3361} hindered{G1581}{(G5745)}.

Finally{G1161}{G5056}, be ye all{G3956} of one mind{G3675}, having compassion one of another{G4835}, love as brethren{G5361}, be pitiful{G2155}, be courteous{G5391}:

Not{G3361} rendering{G591}{(G5723)} evil{G2556} for{G473} evil{G2556}, or{G2228} railing{G3059} for{G473} railing{G3059}: but{G1161} contrariwise{G5121} blessing{G2129}; knowing{G1492}{(G5761)} that{G3754} ye are{G2564} thereunto{G1519}{G5124} called{G2564}{(G5681)}, that{G2443} ye should inherit{G2816}{(G5661)} a blessing{G2127}{(G5723)}.

For{G1063} he that will{G2309}{(G5723)} love{G25}{(G5721)} life{G2222}, and{G2532} see{G1492}{(G5629)} good{G18} days{G2250}, let him refrain{G3973}{(G5657)} his{G846} tongue{G1100} from{G575} evil{G2556}, and{G2532} his{G846} lips{G5491} that they speak{G2980}{(G5658)} no{G3361} guile{G1388}:

Let him eschew{G1578}{(G5657)}{G575} evil{G2556}, and{G2532} do{G4160}{(G5657)} good{G18}; let him seek{G2212}{(G5657)} peace{G1515}, and{G2532} ensue{G1377}{(G5657)} it{G846}.

For{G3754} the eyes{G3788} of the Lord{G2962} are over{G1909} the righteous{G1342}, and{G2532} his{G846} ears{G3775} are open unto{G1519} their{G846} prayers{G1162}: but{G1161} the face{G4383} of the Lord{G2962} is against{G1909} them that do{G4160}{(G5723)} evil{G2556}.

And{G2532} who{G5101} is he that will harm{G2559}{(G5694)} you{G5209}, if{G1437} ye be{G1096}{(G5638)} followers{G3402} of that which is good{G18}?

But{G235} and if{G1499} ye suffer{G3958}{(G5722)} for{G1223} righteousness' sake{G1343}, happy{G3107} are ye: and{G1161} be{G5399} not{G3361} afraid{G5399}{(G5676)} of their{G846} terror{G5401}, neither{G3366} be troubled{G5015}{(G5686)};

But{G1161} sanctify{G37}{(G5657)} the Lord{G2962} God{G2316} in{G1722} your{G5216} hearts{G2588}: and{G1161} be ready{G2092} always{G104} to{G4314} give an answer{G627} to every man{G3956} that asketh{G154}{(G5723)} you{G5209} a reason{G3056} of{G4012} the hope{G1680} that is in{G1722} you{G5213} with{G3326} meekness{G4240} and{G2532} fear{G5401}:

Having{G2192}{(G5723)} a good{G18} conscience{G4893}; that{G2443}, whereas{G1722}{G3739} they speak evil{G2635}{(G5725)} of you{G5216}, as{G5613} of evildoers{G2555}, they may be ashamed{G2617}{(G5686)} that falsely accuse{G1908}{(G5723)} your{G5216} good{G18} conversation{G391} in{G1722} Christ{G5547}.

For{G1063} it is better{G2909}, if{G1487} the will{G2307} of God{G2316} be so{G2309}{(G5719)}, that ye suffer{G3958}{(G5721)} for well doing{G15}{(G5723)}, than{G2228} for evil doing{G2554}{(G5723)}.

For{G3754} Christ{G5547} also{G2532} hath once{G530} suffered{G3958}{(G5627)} for{G4012} sins{G266}, the just{G1342} for{G5228} the unjust{G94}, that{G2443} he might bring{G4317}{(G5632)} us{G2248} to God{G2316}, being put to death{G2289}{(G5772)}{G3303} in the flesh{G4561}, but{G1161} quickened{G2227}{(G5685)} by the Spirit{G4151}:

By{G1722} which{G3739} also{G2532} he went{G4198}{(G5679)} and preached{G2784}{(G5656)} unto the spirits{G4151} in{G1722} prison{G5438};

Which sometime{G4218} were disobedient{G544}{(G5660)}, when{G3753} once{G530} the longsuffering{G3115} of God{G2316} waited{G1551}{(G5711)} in{G1722} the days{G2250} of Noah{G3575}, while the ark{G2787} was a preparing{G2680}{(G5746)}, wherein{G1519}{G3739} few{G3641}, that is{G5123}{(G5748)}, eight{G3638} souls{G5590} were saved{G1295}{(G5681)} by{G1223} water{G5204}.

The like figure{G499} whereunto{G3739} even baptism{G908} doth{G4982} also{G2532} now{G3568} save{G4982}{(G5719)} us{G2248}(not{G3756} the putting away{G595} of the filth{G4509} of the flesh{G4561}, but{G235} the answer{G1906} of a good{G18} conscience{G4893} toward{G1519} God{G2316},) by{G1223} the resurrection{G386} of Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547}:

Who{G3739} is gone{G4198}{(G5679)} into{G1519} heaven{G3772}, and is{G2076}{(G5748)} on{G1722} the right hand{G1188} of God{G2316}; angels{G32} and{G2532} authorities{G1849} and{G2532} powers{G1411} being made subject{G5293}{(G5651)} unto him{G846}.
