1 Peter 3 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Godly Living

In the same^G3668 way^G3668, you wives^G1135, be^G5293 subject^G5293 to your own^G2398 husbands^G435 so^G2443 that^G2443 even^G2532 if^G1487 any^G5100 of them are disobedient^G544 to the word^G3056, they may be won^G2770 over^G2770 without^G427 a word^G3056 by the behavior^G391 of their wives^G1135,

1Pe 3:2

1Pe 3:2as they observe your pure [fn]and respectful behavior.

1Pe 3:3

1Pe 3:3Your adornment must not be merely the external—braiding the hair, wearing gold jewelry, or putting on apparel;

1Pe 3:4

1Pe 3:4but it should be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.

1Pe 3:5

1Pe 3:5For in this way the holy women of former times, who hoped in God, also used to adorn themselves, being subject to their own husbands,

1Pe 3:6

1Pe 3:6just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord; and you have proved to be her children if you do what is right [fn]without being frightened by any fear.

1Pe 3:7

You husbands^G435 in the same^G3668 way^G3668, live^G4924 with your wives in an understanding^G1108 way^G1108, as with [fn]someone^G4632 weaker^G772, since she is a woman^G1134; and show^G632 her honor^G5092 as a fellow^G4789 heir^G4789 of the grace^G5485 of life^G2222, so^G1519 that^G1519 your prayers^G4335 will not be hindered^G1465.

1Pe 3:8

[fn]To sum^G5056 up, all^G3956 of you be harmonious^G3675, sympathetic^G4835, [fn]loving^G5361, compassionate^G2155, and humble^G5012;

1Pe 3:9

1Pe 3:9not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you would inherit a blessing.

1Pe 3:10

1Pe 3:10For,

“THE ONE^G3588 WHO DESIRES^G2309 LIFE^G2222, TO LOVE^G25 AND SEE^G3708 GOOD^G18 DAYS^G2250,

MUST KEEP^G3973 HIS TONGUE^G1100 FROM EVIL^G2556 AND HIS LIPS^G5491 FROM SPEAKING^G2980 DECEIT^G1388.

1Pe 3:11

“HE MUST TURN^G1578 AWAY^G1578 FROM EVIL^G2556 AND DO^G4160 GOOD^G18;

HE MUST SEEK^G2212 PEACE^G1515 AND PURSUE^G1377 IT.

1Pe 3:12

“FOR THE EYES^G3788 OF THE LORD^G2962 ARE TOWARD^G1909 THE RIGHTEOUS^G1342,

AND HIS EARS^G3775 ATTEND TO THEIR PRAYER^G1162,

BUT THE FACE^G4383 OF THE LORD^G2962 IS AGAINST^G1909 EVILDOERS^G2556^G4160.”

1Pe 3:13

And who^G5101 is [fn]there to harm^G2559 you if^G1437 you prove^G1096 zealous^G2207 for what^G18 is^G18 good^G18?

1Pe 3:14

1Pe 3:14But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you [fn]are blessed. AND DO NOT FEAR THEIR [fn]INTIMIDATION, AND DO NOT BE IN DREAD,

1Pe 3:15

1Pe 3:15but [fn]sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a [fn]defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, but with gentleness and respect;

1Pe 3:16

1Pe 3:16 [fn]and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who disparage your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame.

1Pe 3:17

1Pe 3:17For it is better, if [fn]God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what is right rather than for doing what is wrong.

1Pe 3:18

1Pe 3:18For Christ also [fn]suffered for sins once for all time, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the [fn]spirit;

1Pe 3:19

1Pe 3:19in [fn]which He also went and made proclamation to the spirits in prison,

1Pe 3:20

1Pe 3:20who once were disobedient when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water.

1Pe 3:21

1Pe 3:21Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you—not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God [fn]for a good conscience—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

1Pe 3:22

1Pe 3:22who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him.
