Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

1 Peter 3

1 He teacheth the duty of wives and husbands to each other, 8 exhorting all men to unity and love, 14 and to suffer persecution. 19 He declareth also the benefits of Christ toward the old world.

 3:1 ¶ Likewise, 3668 ye wives, 1135 [be] in subjection 5293 z5746 to your own 2398 husbands; 435 that, 2443 if any 1536 obey not 544 z5719 the x3588 word, 3056 they y2770 z0 also 2532 may y2770 z0 without 427 the word 3056 be won 2770 z5686 by 1223 the x3588 conversation 391 of the x3588 wives; 1135

 3:2 While they behold 2029 z5660 your 5216 chaste 53 conversation 391 [coupled] with 1722 fear. 5401

 3:3 Whose 3739 adorning 2889 let it y2077 z0 not 3756 be 2077 z5749 that x3588 outward 1855 [adorning] of plaiting 1708 the hair, 2359 and 2532 of wearing 4025 of gold, 5553 or 2228 of putting on 1745 of apparel; 2440

 3:4 But 235 [let it be] the x3588 hidden 2927 man 444 of the x3588 heart, 2588 in 1722 that which is not corruptible, 862 [even the ornament] of a meek 4239 and 2532 quiet 2272 spirit, 4151 which 3739 is 2076 z5748 in the sight 1799 of God 2316 of great price. 4185

 3:5 For 1063 after this manner 3779 in the old time 4218 the x3588 holy 40 women 1135 also, 2532 who y3588 trusted 1679 z5723 in 1909 God, 2316 adorned 2885 z5707 themselves, 1438 being in subjection 5293 z5746 unto their own 2398 husbands: 435

 3:6 Even as 5613 Sara 4564 obeyed 5219 z5656 Abraham, 11 calling 2564 z5723 him 846 lord: 2962 whose 3739 daughters 5043 ye are, 1096 z5675 as long as ye do well, 15 z5723 and 2532 are y5399 z0 not y3361 afraid 5399 z5740 x3361 with any 3367 amazement. 4423

 3:7 Likewise, 3668 ye husbands, 435 dwell with 4924 z5723 [them] according x2596 to y2596 knowledge, 1108 giving 632 z5723 honour 5092 unto the x3588 wife, 1134 as 5613 unto the weaker 772 vessel, 4632 and 2532 as 5613 being heirs together 4789 of the grace 5485 of life; 2222 that y1519 your 5216 prayers 4335 be y1581 z0 not 3361 hindered. 1581 z5745

 3:8 Finally, 5056 y1161 [be ye] all 3956 of one mind, 3675 having compassion one of another, 4835 love as brethren, 5361 [be] pitiful, 2155 [be] courteous: 5391

 3:9 Not 3361 rendering 591 z5723 evil 2556 for 473 evil, 2556 or 2228 railing 3059 for 473 railing: 3059 but 1161 contrariwise 5121 blessing; y2129 x2127 knowing 1492 z5761 that 3754 ye are y2564 z0 thereunto 1519 5124 called, 2564 z5681 that 2443 ye should inherit 2816 z5661 a blessing. y2127 z5723 x2129

 3:10 For 1063 he that will 2309 z5723 love 25 z5721 life, 2222 and 2532 see 1492 z5629 good 18 days, 2250 let him refrain 3973 z5657 his y846 x848 tongue 1100 from 575 evil, 2556 and 2532 his y846 x848 lips 5491 that they speak 2980 z5658 no 3361 guile: 1388

 3:11 Let him eschew 1578 z5657 y575 evil, 2556 and 2532 do 4160 z5657 good; 18 let him seek 2212 z5657 peace, 1515 and 2532 ensue 1377 z5657 it. 846

 3:12 For 3754 the x3588 eyes 3788 of the Lord 2962 [are] over 1909 the righteous, 1342 and 2532 his 846 ears 3775 [are open] unto 1519 their 846 prayers: 1162 but 1161 the face 4383 of the Lord 2962 [is] against 1909 them that do 4160 z5723 evil. 2556

 3:13 And 2532 who 5101 [is] he that will harm 2559 z5694 you, 5209 if 1437 ye be 1096 z5638 followers 3402 of that which is good? 18

 3:14 But 235 and x2532 if y1499 x1487 ye suffer 3958 z5722 for y1223 righteousness' sake, 1343 x1223 happy 3107 [are ye]: and 1161 be y5399 z0 not y3361 afraid 5399 z5676 x3361 of their 846 terror, 5401 neither 3366 be troubled; 5015 z5686

 3:15 But 1161 sanctify 37 z5657 the Lord 2962 God 2316 in 1722 your 5216 hearts: 2588 and 1161 [be] ready 2092 always 104 to y4314 [give] an answer 627 x4314 to every man 3956 that asketh 154 z5723 you 5209 a reason 3056 of 4012 the x3588 hope 1680 that is in 1722 you 5213 with 3326 meekness 4240 and 2532 fear: 5401

 3:16 Having 2192 z5723 a good 18 conscience; 4893 that, 2443 whereas 1722 3739 they speak evil y2635 z5725 of x2635 you, 5216 as 5613 of evildoers, 2555 they may be ashamed 2617 z5686 that falsely accuse 1908 z5723 your 5216 good 18 conversation 391 in 1722 Christ. 5547

 3:17 For 1063 [it is] better, 2909 if 1487 the x3588 will 2307 of God 2316 be x2309 so, y2309 z5719 that ye suffer 3958 z5721 for well doing, 15 z5723 than 2228 for evil doing. 2554 z5723

 3:18 For 3754 Christ 5547 also 2532 hath once 530 suffered 3958 z5627 for 4012 sins, 266 the just 1342 for 5228 the unjust, 94 that 2443 he might bring 4317 z5632 us 2248 to God, 2316 being put to death 2289 z5772 y3303 in the x3303 flesh, 4561 but 1161 quickened 2227 z5685 by the x3588 Spirit: 4151

 3:19 By 1722 which 3739 also 2532 he went 4198 z5679 and preached 2784 z5656 unto the x3588 spirits 4151 in 1722 prison; 5438

 3:20 Which sometime 4218 were disobedient, 544 z5660 when 3753 once 530 the x3588 longsuffering 3115 of God 2316 waited 1551 z5711 in 1722 the days 2250 of Noah, 3575 while the ark 2787 was a preparing, 2680 z5746 wherein 1519 3739 few, 3641 that is, 5123 z5748 eight 3638 souls 5590 were saved 1295 z5681 by 1223 water. 5204

 3:21 The like figure 499 whereunto 3739 [even] baptism 908 doth y4982 z0 also 2532 now 3568 save 4982 z5719 us 2248 (not 3756 the putting away 595 of the filth 4509 of the flesh, 4561 but 235 the answer 1906 of a good 18 conscience 4893 toward 1519 God,) 2316 by 1223 the resurrection 386 of Jesus 2424 Christ: 5547

 3:22 Who 3739 is gone 4198 z5679 into 1519 heaven, 3772 and is 2076 z5748 on 1722 the right hand 1188 of God; 2316 angels 32 and 2532 authorities 1849 and 2532 powers 1411 being made subject y5293 z5651 unto x5293 him. 846
