ASV_Strong : 1 Peter 3
1. In like manner[G3668], ye wives[G1135], be in subjection[G5293] to your own[G2398] husbands[G435]; that[G2443], even[G2532] if[G1487] any[G5100] obey not[G544] the word[G3056], they may[G2770] without[G427] the word[G3056] be gained[G2770] by[G1223] the behavior[G391] of their wives[G1135];
2. beholding[G2029] your[G5216] chaste[G53] behavior[G391] coupled with[G1722] fear[G5401].
3. Whose[G3739] adorning[G2889] let it[G2077] not[G3756] be[G2077] the outward[G1855] adorning of braiding[G1708] the hair[G2359], and[G2532] of wearing[G4025] jewels of gold[G5553], or[G2228] of putting on[G1745] apparel[G2440];
4. but[G235] let it be the hidden[G2927] man[G444] of the heart[G2588], in[G1722] the incorruptible[G862] apparel of a meek[G4239] and[G2532] quiet[G2272] spirit[G4151], which[G3739] is[G2076] in the sight[G1799] of God[G2316] of great price[G4185].
5. For[G1063] after this manner[G3779] aforetime[G4218] the holy[G40] women[G1135] also[G2532], who hoped[G1679] in[G1909] God[G2316], adorned[G2885] themselves[G1438], being in subjection[G5293] to their own[G2398] husbands[G435]:
6. as[G5613] Sarah[G4564] obeyed[G5219] Abraham[G11], calling[G2564] him[G846] lord[G2962]: whose[G3739] children[G5043] ye now are[G1096], if ye do well[G15], and[G2532] are[G5399] not[G3361] put in fear[G5399] by any[G3367] terror[G4423].
7. Ye husbands[G435], in like manner[G3668], dwell with[G4924] your wives according to[G2596] knowledge[G1108], giving[G632] honor[G5092] unto the woman[G1134], as[G5613] unto the weaker[G772] vessel[G4632], [G2532] as[G5613] being also joint-heirs[G4789] of the grace[G5485] of life[G2222]; to the end that[G1519] your[G5216] prayers[G4335] be[G1581] not[G3361] hindered[G1581].
8. Finally[G5056], be ye all[G3956] likeminded[G3675], compassionate[G4835], loving as brethren[G5361], tenderhearted[G2155], humbleminded[G5391]:
9. not[G3361] rendering[G591] evil[G2556] for[G473] evil[G2556], or[G2228] reviling[G3059] for[G473] reviling[G3059]; but[G1161] contrariwise[G5121] blessing[G2127]; for[G1492, 3754] hereunto[G1519, 5124] were[G2564] ye called[G2564], that[G3754] ye should inherit[G2816] a blessing[G2129].
10. For[G1063], He that would[G2309] love[G25] life[G2222], And[G2532] see[G1492] good[G18] days[G2250], Let him refrain[G3973] his[G846] tongue[G1100] from[G575] evil[G2556], And[G2532] his[G846] lips[G5491] that they speak[G2980] no[G3361] guile[G1388]:
11. And let him turn away[G1578] from[G575] evil[G2556], and[G2532] do[G4160] good[G18]; Let him seek[G2212] peace[G1515], and[G2532] pursue[G1377] it[G846].
12. For[G3754] the eyes[G3788] of the Lord[G2962] are upon[G1909] the righteous[G1342], And[G2532] his[G846] ears[G3775] unto[G1519] their[G846] supplication[G1162]: But[G1161] the face[G4383] of the Lord[G2962] is upon[G1909] them that do[G4160] evil[G2556].
13. And[G2532] who[G5101] is he that will harm[G2559] you[G5209], if[G1437] ye be[G1096] zealous[G3402] of that which is good[G18]?
14. But[G235] even[G2532] if[G1487] ye should suffer[G3958] for[G1223] righteousness[G1343]' sake, blessed[G3107] are ye[G1161]: and [G5399] fear[G5401] not[G3361] their[G846] fear[G5401], neither[G3366] be troubled[G5015];
15. but[G1161] sanctify[G37] in[G1722] your[G5216] hearts[G2588] Christ[G2962] as Lord[G2962]: [G1161] being ready[G2092] always[G104] to[G4314] give answer[G627] to every man[G3956] that asketh[G154] you[G5209] a reason[G3056] concerning[G4012] the hope[G1680] that[G3588] is in[G1722] you[G5213], yet with[G3326] meekness[G4240] and[G2532] fear[G5401]:
16. having[G2192] a good[G18] conscience[G4893]; that[G2443], wherein[G3739, 1722] ye[G5216] are spoken against[G2635], [G5613, 2555] they may be put to shame[G2617] who revile[G1908] your[G5216] good[G18] manner of life[G391] in[G1722] Christ[G5547].
17. For[G1063] it is better[G2909], if[G1487] the will[G2307] of God[G2316] should so[G2309] will[G2307], that ye suffer[G3958] for well-doing[G2228] than for evil-doing[G2554].
18. Because[G3754] Christ[G5547] also[G2532, 3958] suffered[G3958] for[G3754] sins[G266] once[G530], the righteous[G1342] for[G4012] the unrighteous[G94], that[G2443] he might bring[G4317] us[G2248] to God[G2316]; being put to death[G2289] in the flesh[G4561], but[G1161] made alive[G2227] in the spirit[G4151];
19. in[G1722] which[G3739] also[G2532] he went[G4198] and preached[G2784] unto the spirits[G4151] in[G1722] prison[G5438],
20. that aforetime[G4218] were disobedient[G544], when[G3753] the[G530] longsuffering[G3115] of God[G2316] waited[G1551] in[G1722] the days[G2250] of Noah[G3575], while the ark[G2787] was a preparing[G2680], wherein[G1519, 3739] few[G3641], that[G5124] is[G2076], eight[G3638] souls[G5590], were saved[G1295] through[G1223] water[G5204]:
21. which[G3739] also after a true likeness[G499] doth[G4982] now[G3568] save[G4982] you[G2248], even[G2532] baptism[G908], not[G3756] the putting away[G595] of the filth[G4509] of the flesh[G4561], but[G235] the interrogation[G1906] of a good[G18] conscience[G4893] toward[G1519] God[G2316], through[G1223] the resurrection[G386] of Jesus[G2424] Christ[G5547];
22. who[G3739] is[G2076] on[G1722] the right hand[G1188] of God[G2316], having gone[G4198] into[G1519] heaven[G3772]; angels[G32] and[G2532] authorities[G1849] and[G2532] powers[G1411] being made subject[G5293] unto him[G846].
