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;
2
While
they
behold
your
chaste
conversation
[coupled]
with
fear.
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;
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.
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:
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.
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.
8
Finally,
[be
ye]
all
of
one
mind,
having
compassion
one
of
another,
love
as
brethren,
[be]
pitiful,
[be]
courteous:
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.
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:
11
Let
him
eschew
evil,
and
do
good;
let
him
seek
peace,
and
ensue
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.
13
And
who
[is]
he
that
will
harm
you,
if
ye
be
followers
of
that
which
is
good?
14
But
and
if
ye
suffer
for
righteousness’
sake,
happy
[are
ye]:
and
be
not
afraid
of
their
terror,
neither
be
troubled;
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:
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.
17
For
[it
is]
better,
if
the
will
of
God
be
so,
that
ye
suffer
for
well
doing,
than
for
evil
doing.
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:
19
By
which
also
he
went
and
preached
unto
the
spirits
in
prison;
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.
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:
22
Who
is
gone
into
heaven,
and
is
on
the
right
hand
of
God;
angels
and
authorities
and
powers
being
made
subject
unto
him.
