1 Peter 3
1 In like manner, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; so that, even if any do not obey the word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word;
ⲁ̅ⲛⲉϩⲓⲟⲙⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲉⲩⲑⲃⲃⲓⲟ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲛⲉⲩϩⲁⲓ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲛϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲟ ⲛⲁⲧⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲥⲉϯϩⲏⲩ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁϫⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲣⲟⲫⲏ ⲛⲛⲉϩⲓⲟⲙⲉ
2 seeing your pure behavior in fear.

3 Let your beauty be not just the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on fine clothing;
ⲅ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲧϩⲓⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲱⲗⲕ ϩⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲃ ϩⲓ ϩⲟⲓⲧⲉ
4 but in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God very precious.

5 For this is how the holy women before, who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
ⲉ̅ⲧⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲉ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲩⲕⲟⲥⲙⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉϩⲓⲟⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲉⲧϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲍ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲉⲩϩⲁⲓ
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 like manner, 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.
ⲍ̅ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛϯ ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲓⲙⲏ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲛϩⲓⲟⲙⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲥⲕⲉⲩⲟⲥ ⲛϭⲱⲃ ϫⲉ ϩⲉⲛⲥⲩⲛⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲙⲡⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲧⲙⲕⲁ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲛϣⲗⲏⲗ
8 Finally, be all like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, humble,
ⲏ̅ⲡϫⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲣ ⲟⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲧⲏⲣⲧⲛ ⲉϣⲡ ϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ ⲉⲣ ⲙⲁⲓⲥⲟⲛ ⲉⲣ ϣⲁⲛⲁϩⲧⲏϥ ⲉⲑⲃⲃⲓⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ
9 not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but instead blessing; because 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.
ⲓ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲙⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲱⲛϩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ⲉϩⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲧⲁⲗϭⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲗⲁⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲡⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙϫⲱ ⲛⲟⲩⲕⲣⲟϥ
11 Let him turn away from evil, and do good. Let him seek peace, and pursue it.

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."
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲃⲁⲗ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲩϭⲱϣⲧ ⲉϫⲛ ⲛⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲣⲁⲕⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲩⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲡϩⲟ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉϫⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲙⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ
13 Now who is he who will harm you, if you become zealous of that which is good?
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲑⲙⲕⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲁⲛⲛⲉⲣ ⲣⲉϥⲕⲱϩ ⲉⲡⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ
14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed. "And do not fear what they fear, nor be troubled."
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲡ ϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲛⲁⲓⲁⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲧⲉⲩϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲣ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲏⲧⲥ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲣϣⲧⲟⲣⲧⲣ
15 But sanctify in your hearts Messiah as Lord; and always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with humility and fear:
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲙⲁⲧⲃⲃⲟϥ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲉⲃⲧⲱⲧ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉϯ ⲁⲡⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓⲁ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲁⲓⲧⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲙⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲑⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ
16 having a good conscience; so that when they speak evil against you, they may be put to shame who slander your good manner of life in Messiah.

17 For it is better, if it is God's will, that you suffer for doing well than for doing evil.

18 Because Messiah 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;

19 in which he also went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison,

20 who before were disobedient, when God waited patiently in the days of Noah, while the box-shaped ship was being built. In it, few, that is, eight souls, were saved by means of water.

21 This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you—not the removal of dirt from the body, but an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus (the) Messiah,
