1 Peter 3

1Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives,

ομοιως αι γυναικες υποτασσομεναι τοις ιδιοις ανδρασιν, ινα και ει τινες απειθουσιν τω λογω, δια της των γυναικων αναστροφης ανευ λογου κερδηθησονται,

2when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear.

εποπτευσαντες την εν φοβω αγνην αναστροφην υμων.

3Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel—

ων εστω ουχ ο εξωθεν εμπλοκης τριχων και περιθεσεως χρυσιων η ενδυσεως ιματιων κοσμος,

4rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.

αλλ ο κρυπτος της καρδιας ανθρωπος εν τω αφθαρτω του πραεος και ησυχιου πνευματος, ο εστιν ενωπιον του θεου πολυτελες.

5For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands,

ουτως γαρ ποτε και αι αγιαι γυναικες αι ελπιζουσαι επι τον θεον εκοσμουν εαυτας, υποτασσομεναι τοις ιδιοις ανδρασιν,

6as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror.

ως σαρρα υπηκουσεν τω αβρααμ, κυριον αυτον καλουσα· ης εγενηθητε τεκνα· — αγαθοποιουσαι και μη φοβουμεναι μηδεμιαν πτοησιν.

7Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.

οι ανδρες ομοιως συνοικουντες κατα γνωσιν, ως ασθενεστερω σκευει τω γυναικειω απονεμοντες τιμην, ως και συγκληρονομοι χαριτος ζωης, εις το μη εγκοπτεσθαι τας προσευχας υμων.

8Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous;

το δε τελος παντες ομοφρονες, συμπαθεις, φιλαδελφοι, ευσπλαγχνοι, φιλοφρονες,

9not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.

μη αποδιδοντες κακον αντι κακου η λοιδοριαν αντι λοιδοριας, τουναντιον δε ευλογουντες, ειδοτες οτι εις τουτο εκληθητε, ινα ευλογιαν κληρονομησητε.

10For 'He who would love life And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit.

ο γαρ θελων ζωην αγαπαν και ιδειν ημερας αγαθας παυσατω την γλωσσαν αυτου απο κακου και χειλη αυτου του μη λαλησαι δολον,

11Let him turn away from evil and do good; Let him seek peace and pursue it.

εκκλινατω απο κακου και ποιησατω αγαθον, ζητησατω ειρηνην και διωξατω αυτην·

12For the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their prayers; But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil.'

οτι οφθαλμοι κυριου επι δικαιους και ωτα αυτου εις δεησιν αυτων, προσωπον δε κυριου επι ποιουντας κακα.

13And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good?

και τις ο κακωσων υμας, εαν του αγαθου μιμηται γενησθε;

14But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed. 'And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.'

αλλ ει και πασχοιτε δια δικαιοσυνην, μακαριοι. τον δε φοβον αυτων μη φοβηθητε μηδε ταραχθητε,

15But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;

κυριον δε τον θεον αγιασατε εν ταις καρδιαις υμων, ετοιμοι δε αει προς απολογιαν παντι τω αιτουντι υμας λογον περι της εν υμιν ελπιδος μετα πραυτητος και φοβου,

16having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.

συνειδησιν εχοντες αγαθην, ινα εν ω καταλαλουσιν υμων ως κακοποιων, καταισχυνθωσιν οι επηρεαζοντες υμων την αγαθην εν χριστω αναστροφην.

17For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

κρειττον γαρ αγαθοποιουντας, ει θελοι το θελημα του θεου, πασχειν η κακοποιουντας.

18For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit,

οτι και χριστος απαξ περι αμαρτιων επαθεν, δικαιος υπερ αδικων, ινα ημας προσαγαγη τω θεω, θανατωθεις μεν σαρκι, ζωοποιηθεις δε πνευματι·

19by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison,

εν ω και τοις εν φυλακη πνευμασιν πορευθεις εκηρυξεν,

20who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.

απειθησασιν ποτε, οτε απεξεδεχετο η του θεου μακροθυμια εν ημεραις νωε κατασκευαζομενης κιβωτου, εις ην ολιγαι, τουτ εστιν οκτω ψυχαι, διεσωθησαν δι υδατος.

21There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

ο αντιτυπον νυν και ημας σωζει βαπτισμα, ου σαρκος αποθεσις ρυπου, αλλα συνειδησεως αγαθης επερωτημα εις θεον, δι αναστασεως ιησου χριστου,

22who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.

ος εστιν εν δεξια του θεου πορευθεις εις ουρανον, υποταγεντων αυτω αγγελων και εξουσιων και δυναμεων.
