1Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the behaviour of the wives;stylus···2While they behold your chaste behaviour coupled with fear.stylus···3Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of arranging the hair, and of wearing gold, or of putting on apparel;stylus···4But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.stylus···5For after this manner in former times the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:stylus···6Even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any terror.stylus···7Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.stylus···8Finally, be yeall of one mind, having compassion one for another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:stylus···9Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but on the contrary blessing; knowing that ye are called to this, that ye should inherit a blessing.stylus···10For he that will love life, and see good days, let him restrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:stylus···11Let him turn away from evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and pursue it.stylus···12For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.stylus···13And who is he that will harm you, if ye are followers of that which is good?stylus···14But if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are ye : and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;stylus···15But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:stylus···16Having a good conscience; that, though they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good behaviour in Christ.stylus···17For it is better, if the will of God is so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.stylus···18For Christ also hath once suffered 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:stylus···19By whom also he went and preached to the spirits in prison;stylus···20Who at one time were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was preparing, in which few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.stylus···21The like figure to which even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:stylus···22Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.stylus···
