1 Peter 3 — Context

5

For this is how the holy women before, who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:

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.

7

You husbands, in the same way, 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; that your prayers may not be hindered.

8

Finally, be all like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous,

9

not rendering evil for evil, or insult for insult; but instead blessing; knowing that to this were you called, that you may inherit a blessing.

10

For, "He who would love life, and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.

11

Let him turn away from evil, and do good. Let him seek peace, and pursue it.
