Bible. Peter, 1st
60:003:005 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who
trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto
their own husbands:
60:003:006 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters
ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any
amazement.
60:003:007 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge,
giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as
being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers
be not hindered.
60:003:008 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of
another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
60:003:009 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but
contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called,
that ye should inherit a blessing.
60:003:010 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain
his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
60:003:011 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and
ensue it.
60:003:012 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears
are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is
against them that do evil.
60:003:013 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that
which is good?
60:003:014 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye:
and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
60:003:015 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always
to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the
hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
60:003:016 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of
you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse
your good conversation in Christ.
60:003:017 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for
well doing, than for evil doing.
60:003:018 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the
unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in
the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
60:003:019 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
60:003:020 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering
of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a
preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by
water.
60:003:021 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us
(not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the
answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection
of Jesus Christ:
60:003:022 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God;
angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
