I Peter Capítulo 3

3 : 1 Likewise the wives, being subordinate to their own husbands, so that even if any are disobedient to the word, they will be gained without a word by the behavior of the wives,

3 : 2 observing, in fear, your pure behavior.

3 : 3 Of which let it not be the outward world of braiding of hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on apparel,

3 : 4 but the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible, of the meek and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.

3 : 5 For this way formerly also, the holy women, trusting in God, adorned themselves, being subordinate to their own husbands,

3 : 6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children ye became, doing good, and not being afraid of anything fearful.

3 : 7 Likewise the husbands living together knowledgeably, as with a weaker vessel, apportioning worth to the female as also joint-heirs of the grace of life, for your prayers not to be hindered.

3 : 8 And finally, all be like-minded, sympathetic, brother-loving, compassionate, friendly,

3 : 9 not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling, but instead giving praise, knowing that ye were called for this, so that ye might inherit a blessing.

3 : 10 For he who wants to love life, and see good days, let him restrain his tongue from evil, and his lips not to speak deceit.

3 : 11 Let him turn away from evil, and do good. Let him seek peace, and pursue it.

3 : 12 Because the eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous, and his ears to their supplication, but the face of the Lord is against men who do evil things.

3 : 13 And who is he who will harm you, if ye become imitators of the good?

3 : 14 But even if ye should suffer because of righteousness, ye are blessed. But do not fear their terror nor be shaken,

3 : 15 but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts. And always be ready for a defense to every man who asks you a word about the hope in you, with meekness and fear.

3 : 16 Having a good conscience, so that, in what they speak against you as of evildoers, they may be ashamed, those who revile your good behavior in Christ.

3 : 17 For it is better to suffer doing good, if the will of God desires, than for doing evil.

3 : 18 Because Christ also once suffered for sins, a righteous man for unrighteous men, so that he might bring you to God. Having indeed been killed in flesh, but made alive in spirit,

3 : 19 in which also, having gone, he preached to the spirits in prison

3 : 20 who were disobedient formerly, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah who prepared an ark in which a few, that is, eight souls were saved through water.

3 : 21 Which counterpart-immersion-now also saves us, not the putting away of filth of flesh, but an appeal of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

3 : 22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, agents, and positions of authority, and powers having been subordinated to him.
