1 Peter 3

Verses of 1 Peter 3 of the ASV from the book of the bible

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - In like manner, ye wives, `be' in subjection to your won husbands; that, even if any obey not the word, they may without the word be gained by the behavior of their wives;
2 - beholding your chaste behavior `coupled' with fear.
3 - Whose `adorning' let it not be the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on apparel;
4 - but `let it be' the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible `apparel' of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
5 - For after this manner aforetime the holy women also, who hoped in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
6 - as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose children ye now are, if ye do well, and are not put in fear by any terror.
7 - Ye husbands, in like manner, dwell with `your wives' according to knowledge, giving honor unto the woman, as unto the weaker vessel, as being also joint-heirs of the grace of life; to the end that your prayers be not hindered.
8 - Finally, `be' ye all likeminded, compassionate, loving as brethren, tenderhearted, humbleminded:
9 - not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but contrariwise blessing; for hereunto were ye called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
10 - For, He that would love life, And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips that they speak no guile:
11 - And let him turn away from evil, and do good; Let him seek peace, and pursue it.
12 - For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, And his ears unto their supplication: But the face of the Lord is upon them that do evil.
13 - And who is he that will harm you, if ye be zealous of that which is good?
14 - But even if ye should suffer for righteousness' sake, blessed `are ye:' and fear not their fear, neither be troubled;
15 - but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord: `being' ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear:
16 - having a good conscience; that, wherein ye are spoken against, they may be put to shame who revile your good manner of life in Christ.
17 - For it is better, if the will of God should so will, that ye suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing.
18 - Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;
19 - in which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison,
20 - that aforetime were disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water:
21 - which also after a true likeness doth now save you, `even' baptism, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the interrogation of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ;
22 - who is one the right hand of God, having gone into heaven; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
