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 who, in turn, her reverence, and her being chaste are being monitored;

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 things of the heart: she is incorruptible, 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 confided/hoped 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 a good doer, who will never be afraid  not even of one sudden alarm.

Husband should be diligent with their wife

7. Similarly, husband (fellow-men), as you apportion a value/honor unto a strengthless/fragile equipment, dwell together with feminines/females according to (mental) knowledge, and as joint-heirs of the Grace unto zoe-Life. Never cut off your oratory prayer.

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 them (speak well to others); because, these ones are to be 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 from evil and do good things; seek after peace even with them who persecute you.

12 Howbeit, to be doing evil before 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 with 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 suffer, it should be for the will of God. Because, it is better to desire to do good than to do 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 things (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, on account of the water, into which a few, that is, eight souls were rescued.

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.
