1Peter chapter 3

1Peter 3

Submission of wife to husband 

1. Similarly, wives, should be submissive to their own husbands, at least, if anyone disbelieve the words, he could be won/gained in turn, without words, through the wife/woman;

2 whom, by monitoring her reverence, she could in turn, be chaste. 

3. who, on external clothing, her hair is not of elaborate braiding and putting on of garments of the world or golden articles all around her.

4. But, who by hidden incorruptible things of the heart: being meek and quiet/gentle (sedentary), which is very precious/expensive in the presence of men and the SPIRIT of God.

5. Because, in time past, even the holy wives/women, who confide/hope in God, likewise adorned/decorated themselves and were submissive to their own husbands;

6. as Sarah obey Abraham as lord (Gen 18:12); who happened to bid her child to be good doer, who is never afraid of not even one terror.

Husband should be diligent with their wife

7. Similarly, husband (fellow-men), dwell together with feminines/females according to (mental) knowledge, as you apportion a value/honor unto a strengthless/fragile equipment, and as joint-heirs of the Grace unto zoe-Life, your oratory prayer should not be cut off.

Christians are equipped with ability to bless /speak well to others 

8. However, for the ultimate end goal, be like-minded, be sympathetic, be brethren-lovers, be compassionate to everybody and be humble-minded/friendly minded.

9. Never repay evil for evil or slander for slander; but on the contrary, bless (speak well to others); because, these ones are called out, at least unto being heirs of blessings.

10. Because (for you) to see good days, desire zoe-Life, and love selflessly, stop evil things from your tongue and never preach decoy/deceit by your lips. 

11 moreover, deviate away from evil and do good things; he will seek after peace even with those who persecute him. 

12 Howbeit, to be doing evil upon the face of the SUPREME Lord, for the eyes of the SUPREME Lord is upon the righteous and HIS ears are unto their petition/requests. (ref: Ps 34:12-16)

13. And who will harm you, in case you become a zealous person for good things?

Persecution for right and wrong reasons  

14. But, you are supremely blessed, if you suffer because of righteousness; moreover, do not be afraid of their terror, nor be agitated; (ref: Isa 8:12). 

15. So, hallow/consecrate Christ, in your hearts; be always ready towards a defence to everybody who will ask you matter concerning the cheerful hope for the Lord in you; but with meekness and reverence;

16 (for them) to have a good co-perception, at least in what they speak evil against; and in return, to shame down those who slander your good (works) in Christ.

Persecution of Christians as of the Christ

17. For, if you want the will of God, it is better to suffer for doing good than for doing evil, 

18. No doubt, even Christ for once suffered concerning sins, the Righteous for the unrighteous, (His) flesh indeed was killed, but made to live/revitalized by the SPIRIT; at least to lead us towards God;

19 Who had traveled in the spirit to herald (be a sign of imminent happening) to those in imprisonment (souls in hades); - 

20 - those who disbelieved at a time in the days of Noah, when, by long-forbearance, God waited for a box (ark) to be fully-constructed, into which a few, that is, eight souls were rescued on account of water.

21. And now, there is a copy/counterpart, through which you could be saved by baptisma/washing, not of putting away of the impurity of the flesh (external body) but, by inquiry unto God for a good consciousness/co-perception on account of resurrection of Jesus Christ;

22. Who has traveled into heaven, in the Right hand of God; and the Angels, the Authorities and Powers are put in subjection to Him.
