1 Peter Chapter 3Young's Literal Translation2: having beheld your pure behaviour in fear, 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, 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, 5: for thus once also the holy women who did hope on God, were adorning themselves, being subject to their own husbands, 6: as Sarah was obedient to Abraham, calling him 'sir,' of whom ye did become daughters, doing good, and not fearing any terror. 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. 8: And finally, being all of one mind, having fellow-feeling, loving as brethren, compassionate, courteous, 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; 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; 11: let him turn aside from evil, and do good, let him seek peace and pursue it; 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;' 13: and who [is] he who will be doing you evil, if of Him who is good ye may become imitators? 14: but if ye also should suffer because of righteousness, happy [are ye]! and of their fear be not afraid, nor be troubled, 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; 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; 17: for [it is] better doing good, if the will of God will it, to suffer, than doing evil; 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, 19: in which also to the spirits in prison having gone he did preach, 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; 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, 22: who is at the right hand of God, having gone on to heaven -- messengers, and authorities, and powers, having been subjected to him.
