* Likewise , ye wives , be in subjection (5746 ) to your own husbands ; that , if any obey not (5719 ) the word , they also may without the word be won (5686 ) by the conversation of the wives ; * While they behold (5660 ) your chaste conversation coupled with fear . * Whose adorning let it not be (5749 ) that outward adorning of plaiting the hair , and of wearing of gold , or of putting on of apparel ; * But 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 (5748 ) in the sight of God of great price . * For after this manner in the old time the holy women also , who trusted (5723 ) in God , adorned (5707 ) themselves , being in subjection (5746 ) unto their own husbands : * Even as Sara obeyed (5656 ) Abraham , calling (5723 ) him lord : whose daughters ye are (5675 ), as long as ye do well (5723 ), and are not afraid (5740 ) with any amazement . * Likewise , ye husbands , dwell with (5723 ) them according to knowledge , giving (5723 ) honour unto the wife , as unto the weaker vessel , and as being heirs together of the grace of life ; that your prayers be not hindered (5745 ). * Finally , be ye all of one mind , having compassion one of another , love as brethren , be pitiful , be courteous : * Not rendering (5723 ) evil for evil , or railing for railing : but contrariwise blessing ; knowing (5761 ) that ye are thereunto called (5681 ), that ye should inherit (5661 ) a blessing (5723 ). * For he that will (5723 ) love (5721 ) life , and see (5629 ) good days , let him refrain (5657 ) his tongue from evil , and his lips that they speak (5658 ) no guile : * Let him eschew (5657 ) evil , and do (5657 ) good ; let him seek (5657 ) peace , and ensue (5657 ) it . * For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous , and his ears are open unto their prayers : but the face of the Lord is against them that do (5723 ) evil . * And who is he that will harm (5694 ) you , if ye be (5638 ) followers of that which is good ? * But and if ye suffer (5722 ) for righteousness sake , happy are ye : and be not afraid (5676 ) of their terror , neither be troubled (5686 ); * But sanctify (5657 ) the Lord God in your hearts : and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh (5723 ) you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear : * Having (5723 ) a good conscience ; that , whereas they speak evil (5725 ) of you , as of evildoers , they may be ashamed (5686 ) that falsely accuse (5723 ) your good conversation in Christ . * For it is better , if the will of God be so (5719 ), that ye suffer (5721 ) for well doing (5723 ), than for evil doing (5723 ). * For Christ also hath once suffered (5627 ) for sins , the just for the unjust , that he might bring (5632 ) us to God , being put to death (5772 ) in the flesh , but quickened (5685 ) by the Spirit : * By which also he went (5679 ) and preached (5656 ) unto the spirits in prison ; * Which sometime were disobedient (5660 ), when once the longsuffering of God waited (5711 ) in the days of Noah , while the ark was a preparing (5746 ), wherein few , that is (5748 ), eight souls were saved (5681 ) by water . * The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save (5719 ) 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 : * Who is gone (5679 ) into heaven , and is (5748 ) on the right hand of God ; angels and authorities and powers being made subject (5651 ) unto him .
