1 Peter 3:3-13 (Third Millennium Bible w/ Apocrypha)
View In My Bible
3
When adorning yourselves, let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing gold, or of putting on apparel;
4
but let it be the hidden man of the heart which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God is of great price.
5
For in this manner in olden times the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands,
6
even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. Ye are her daughters as long as ye do well and are not afraid with any bewilderment.
7
Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with your wives with understanding, giving honor unto the wife as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered.
8
Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one for another. Love each other as brethren, be sympathetic, be courteous,
9
not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing, but contrariwise blessing, knowing that ye are called thereto, that ye might inherit a blessing.
10
For, "He that would love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile.
11
Let him eschew evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it.
12
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."
13
And who is he that will harm you if ye be followers of that which is good?
