Darby Bible Translation
Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives,
Wives and Husbands
Likewise, wives, [be] subject to your own husbands, that, even if any are disobedient to the word, they may be gained without [the] word by the conversation of the wives,
Likewise, wives, [be] subject to your own husbands, that, even if any are disobedient to the word, they may be gained without [the] word by the conversation of the wives,
when they see the purity and reverence of your lives.
having witnessed your pure conversation [carried out] in fear;
Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes.
whose adorning let it not be that outward one of tressing of hair, and wearing gold, or putting on apparel;
Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.
but the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible [ornament] of a meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God is of great price.
For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submitted themselves to their own husbands,
For thus also the holy women who have hoped in God heretofore adorned themselves, being subject to their own husbands;
like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.
as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord; whose children ye have become, doing good, and not fearing with any kind of consternation.
Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.
[Ye] husbands likewise, dwell with [them] according to knowledge, as with a weaker, [even] the female, vessel, giving [them] honour, as also fellow-heirs of [the] grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered.
Suffering for Doing Good
Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.
Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.
Turn from Evil
Finally, [be] all of one mind, sympathising, full of brotherly love, tender hearted, humble minded;
Finally, [be] all of one mind, sympathising, full of brotherly love, tender hearted, humble minded;
Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.
not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing; but on the contrary, blessing [others], because ye have been called to this, that ye should inherit blessing.
For,
“Whoever would love life
and see good days
must keep their tongue from evil
and their lips from deceitful speech.
“Whoever would love life
and see good days
must keep their tongue from evil
and their lips from deceitful speech.
For he that will love life and see good days, let him cause his tongue to cease from evil and his lips that they speak no guile.
They must turn from evil and do good;
they must seek peace and pursue it.
they must seek peace and pursue it.
And let him avoid evil, and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it;
because [the] eyes of [the] Lord [are] on [the] righteous, and his ears towards their supplications; but [the] face of [the] Lord [is] against them that do evil.
Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good?
And who shall injure you if ye have become imitators of that which [is] good?
Suffering for Righteousness
But if also ye should suffer for righteousness' sake, blessed [are ye]; but be not afraid of their fear, neither be troubled;
But if also ye should suffer for righteousness' sake, blessed [are ye]; but be not afraid of their fear, neither be troubled;
But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,
but sanctify [the] Lord the Christ in your hearts, and [be] always prepared to [give] an answer [to] every one that asks you to give an account of the hope that [is] in you, but with meekness and fear;
keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.
having a good conscience, that [as to that] in which they speak against you as evildoers, they may be ashamed who calumniate your good conversation in Christ.
For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.
For [it is] better, if the will of God should will it, to suffer [as] well-doers than [as] evildoers;
For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit.
for Christ indeed has once suffered for sins, [the] just for [the] unjust, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in flesh, but made alive in [the] Spirit,
in which also going he preached to the spirits [which are] in prison,
to those who were disobedient long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water,
heretofore disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited in [the] days of Noah while the ark was preparing, into which few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water:
which figure also now saves you, [even] baptism, not a putting away of [the] filth of flesh, but [the] demand as before God of a good conscience, by [the] resurrection of Jesus Christ,
