| 1 | In like manner, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; so that, even if any don`t obey the Word, they may be gained by the behavior of their wives without a word; | Gn 3:16 Es 1:16-20 Ro 7:2 1Co 11:3 1Co 14:34 Eph 5:22-24 Eph 5:33-24 Col 3:18 1Ti 2:11 1Ti 2:12 Tit 2:3-6 |
| 2 | seeing your pure behavior in fear. | 1Pe 3:16 1Pe 1:15 1Pe 2:12 Php 1:27 Php 3:20 1Ti 4:12 2Pe 3:11 |
| 3 | Let your beauty be not just the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on fine clothing; | 1Ti 2:9 1Ti 2:10 Tit 2:3-15 Ro 12:2 |
| 4 | but in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God very precious. | Ps 45:13 Ps 51:6 Mt 23:26 Lk 11:40 Ro 2:29 Ro 6:6 Ro 7:22 2Co 4:16 Eph 4:22-24 Col 3:3 Col 3:9 Col 3:10 |
| 5 | For this is how the holy women before, who hoped in God, also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands: | Pr 31:10 Pr 31:30 Lk 8:2 Lk 8:3 Ac 1:14 Ac 9:36 1Ti 2:10 1Ti 5:10 Tit 2:3 Tit 2:4 |
| 6 | as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children you now are, if you do well, and are not put in fear by any terror. | Gn 18:12 |
| 7 | You husbands, in like manner, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman, as to the weaker vessel, as being also joint heirs of the grace of life; not cutting off your prayers. | Gn 2:23 Gn 2:24 Pr 5:15-19 Mal 2:14-16 Mt 19:3-9 1Co 7:3 Col 3:19 Eph 5:25-28 Eph 5:33-28 |
| 8 | Finally, be all like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous, | Ac 2:1 Ac 4:32 Ro 12:16 Ro 15:5 1Co 1:10 Php 3:16 |
| 9 | not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but instead blessing; knowing that to this were you called, that you may inherit a blessing. | 1Pe 2:20-23 Pr 17:13 Pr 20:22 Mt 5:39 Mt 5:44 Lk 6:27-29 Ro 12:14 Ro 12:17 Ro 12:19-21 1Co 4:12 1Co 4:13 Eph 4:32 1Th 5:15 |
| 10 | For, "He who would love life, And see good days, Let him keep his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit. | Ps 34:12-16 |
| 11 | Let him turn away from evil, and do good. Let him seek peace, and pursue it. | Jb 1:1 Jb 2:3 Jb 28:28 Ps 34:14 Ps 37:27 Pr 3:7 Pr 16:6 Pr 16:17 Isa 1:16 Isa 1:17 Mt 6:13 Jn 17:15 |
| 12 | For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, And his ears open to their prayer; But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil." | Dt 11:12 2Ch 16:9 Ps 11:4 Pr 15:3 Zc 4:10 |
| 13 | Now who is he who will harm you, if you become imitators of that which is good? | Pr 16:7 Ro 8:28 Ro 13:3 |
| 14 | But even if you should suffer for righteousness` sake, you are blessed. "Don`t fear what they fear, neither be troubled." | 1Pe 2:19 1Pe 2:20 1Pe 4:13-16 Jer 15:15 Mt 5:10-12 Mt 10:18-22 Mt 10:39-22 Mt 16:25 Mt 19:29 Mk 8:35 Mk 10:29 Lk 6:22 Lk 6:23 Ac 9:16 2Co 12:10 Php 1:29 Jm 1:12 |
| 15 | But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear: | Nm 20:12 Nm 27:14 Isa 5:16 Isa 29:23 |
| 16 | having a good conscience; that, while you are spoken against as evildoers, they may be put to shame who revile your good manner of life in Christ. | 1Pe 3:21 1Pe 2:19 Ac 24:16 Ro 9:1 2Co 1:12 2Co 4:2 1Ti 1:5 1Ti 1:19 2Ti 1:3 Heb 9:14 Heb 13:18 |
| 17 | For it is better, if the will of God should so will, that you suffer for doing well than for doing evil. | 1Pe 4:19 Mt 26:39 Mt 26:42 Ac 21:14 |
| 18 | Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit; | 1Pe 2:21-24 1Pe 4:1 Isa 53:4-6 Ro 5:6-8 Ro 8:3 2Co 5:21 Ga 1:4 Ga 3:13 Tit 2:14 Heb 9:26 Heb 9:28 |
| 19 | in which he also went and preached to the spirits in prison, | 1Pe 1:11 1Pe 1:12 1Pe 4:6 Ne 9:30 Rev 19:10 |
| 20 | who before were disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited patiently in the days of Noah, while the ark was being built. In it, few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water. | Gn 6:3 Gn 6:5 Gn 6:13 |
| 21 | This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you - not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, | Ro 5:14 1Co 4:6 Heb 9:24 Heb 11:19 |
| 22 | who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him. | Mk 16:19 Ac 1:11 Ac 2:34-36 Ac 3:21 Heb 6:20 Heb 8:1 Heb 9:24 |
