< 1 Peter 3 >

1 In the same way, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands, so that, even if any don’t obey the Word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word,
ομοιωσ αι γυναικεσ υποτασσομεναι τοισ ιδιοισ ανδρασιν ινα και ει τινεσ απειθουσιν τω λογω δια τησ των γυναικων αναστροφησ ανευ λογου κερδηθησονται
2 seeing your pure behavior in fear.
εποπτευσαντεσ την εν φοβω αγνην αναστροφην υμων
3 Let your beauty come not from the outward adorning of braiding your hair, and of wearing gold ornaments or of putting on fine clothing,
ων εστω ουχ ο εξωθεν εμπλοκησ τριχων και περιθεσεωσ χρυσιων η ενδυσεωσ ιματιων κοσμοσ
4 but from the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in God’s sight.
αλλ ο κρυπτοσ τησ καρδιασ ανθρωποσ εν τω αφθαρτω του πραεοσ και ησυχιου πνευματοσ ο εστιν ενωπιον του θεου πολυτελεσ
5 For this is how in the past the holy women who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands.
ουτωσ γαρ ποτε και αι αγιαι γυναικεσ αι ελπιζουσαι επι θεον εκοσμουν εαυτασ υποτασσομεναι τοισ ιδιοισ ανδρασιν
6 So Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children you now are if you do well and are not put in fear by any terror.
ωσ σαρρα υπηκουσεν τω αβρααμ κυριον αυτον καλουσα ησ εγενηθητε τεκνα αγαθοποιουσαι και μη φοβουμεναι μηδεμιαν πτοησιν
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 also being joint heirs 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
8 Finally, all of you be like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous,
το δε τελοσ παντεσ ομοφρονεσ συμπαθεισ φιλαδελφοι ευσπλαγχνοι φιλοφρονεσ
9 not rendering evil for evil or insult for insult; but instead 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
10 For, “He who would love life and see good days, let him keep 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
11 Let 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
12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears open to their prayer; 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
13 Now who will harm you if you become imitators of that which is good?
και τισ ο κακωσων υμασ εαν του αγαθου μιμηται γενησθε
14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “Don’t fear what they fear, neither be troubled.”
αλλ ει και πασχοιτε δια δικαιοσυνην μακαριοι τον δε φοβον αυτων μη φοβηθητε μηδε ταραχθητε
15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts. Always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility 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
16 having a good conscience. Thus, while you are spoken against as evildoers, they may be disappointed who curse your good way of life in Christ.
συνειδησιν εχοντεσ αγαθην ινα εν ω καταλαλουσιν υμων ωσ κακοποιων καταισχυνθωσιν οι επηρεαζοντεσ υμων την αγαθην εν χριστω αναστροφην
17 For it is better, if it is God’s will, that you suffer for doing what is right than for doing evil.
κρειττον γαρ αγαθοποιουντασ ει θελοι το θελημα του θεου πασχειν η κακοποιουντασ
18 Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the Spirit,
οτι και χριστοσ απαξ περι αμαρτιων επαθεν δικαιοσ υπερ αδικων ινα υμασ προσαγαγη τω θεω θανατωθεισ μεν σαρκι ζωοποιηθεισ δε πνευματι
19 in whom he also went and preached to the spirits in prison,
εν ω και τοισ εν φυλακη πνευμασιν πορευθεισ εκηρυξεν
20 who before were disobedient when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ship was being built. In it, 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
21 This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you—not the putting away 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
22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.
οσ εστιν εν δεξια του θεου πορευθεισ εισ ουρανον υποταγεντων αυτω αγγελων και εξουσιων και δυναμεων
