| 3:1 | Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; |
| 3:2 | While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. |
| 3:3 | Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; |
| 3:4 | 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 in the sight of God of great price. |
| 3:5 | For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: |
| 3:6 | Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. |
| 3:7 | Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving 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. |
| 3:8 | Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: |
| 3:9 | Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. |
| 3:10 | For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: |
| 3:11 | Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. |
| 3:12 | 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 evil. |
| 3:13 | And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? |
| 3:14 | But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; |
| 3:15 | But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: |
| 3:16 | Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. |
| 3:17 | For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing. |
| 3:18 | For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: |
| 3:19 | By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; |
| 3:20 | Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. |
| 3:20 | 就是那從前在挪亞豫備方舟、 神容忍等待的時候、不信從的人．當時進入方舟、藉著水得救的不多、只有八個人． |
| 3:20 | 就是那从前在挪亚豫备方舟，神容忍等待的时候，不信从的人。当时进入方舟，藉着水得救的不多，只有八个人。 |
| gen:6:13 | And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. |
| gen:7:1 | And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. |
| gen:7:7 | And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. |
| gen:7:23 | And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. |
| heb:11:7 | By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. |
| 2pe:2:5 | And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; |
| COBL | |
| 3:21 | The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save 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: |
| 3:22 | Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. |
