Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
In
like
manner
, the
wives, be ye
subject
to your own husbands ,
that even
if certain
are
disobedient
to
the word, through
the
conversation
of
the
wives,
without the word ,
they
may
be won ,
Likewise
, ye
wives, be in
subjection
to your own husbands ;
that ,
if any
obey
not
the word, they
also
may
without the word be won by
the
conversation
of
the
wives;
having
beheld
your pure
behaviour
in
fear ,
While
they
behold
your chaste
conversation
coupled
with
fear .
whose adorning --
let it not be that which
is
outward ,
of plaiting of
hair, and of putting
around
of
things
of gold, or of putting on of garments,
Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning
of plaiting the
hair, and of wearing
of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
but --
the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible
thing
of the
meek and quiet spirit, which is ,
before
God ,
of great price ,
But let
it
be
the hidden man of the heart, in that
which
is
not
corruptible,
even
the ornament
of a
meek and quiet spirit, which is in
the
sight
of
God of great price .
for thus
once
also
the holy women who did
hope
on
God, were
adorning
themselves, being subject
to
their own husbands ,
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 :
as Sarah
was
obedient
to
Abraham, calling him `sir,'
of
whom
ye
did
become
daughters, doing
good
, and not fearing
any terror
.
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
.
The
husbands
, in
like
manner
, dwelling
with `
them ',
according to knowledge, as to
a
weaker vessel --
to
the
wife
--
imparting
honour
, as also
being heirs together of the grace of life ,
that your prayers be not hindered.
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.
And
finally, being
all of one mind, having fellow-feeling
, loving
as brethren, compassionate
, courteous ,
Finally, be
ye
all of one mind, having compassion
one
of
another
, love
as brethren, be
pitiful
, be
courteous :
not giving
back
evil for evil, or railing for railing ,
and
on
the
contrary,
blessing ,
having
known
that to
this
ye were
called, that a
blessing
ye may
inherit ;
Not rendering
evil for evil, or railing for railing :
but
contrariwise
blessing ;
knowing
that ye are
thereunto
called, that ye should
inherit a
blessing.
for `
he who
is
willing
to
love life, and to
see good days, let him guard
his tongue from evil, and his lips --
not
to
speak guile ;
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 :
let him turn
aside
from
evil, and do good ,
let him seek peace and pursue
it ;
Let him eschew
evil, and do good ;
let him seek peace ,
and ensue
it .
because
the eyes of the Lord `
are '
upon
the righteous, and His ears --
to
their supplication,
and
the face of the Lord `
is '
upon
those
doing
evil ;'
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 .
and who `
is '
he who
will be
doing
you evil
, if of Him
who
is good ye
may
become
imitators
?
And who is he that
will harm
you, if ye
be
followers
of that
which
is good?
but if ye also
should
suffer because
of
righteousness, happy `
are ye '!
and of
their
fear
be not afraid, nor
be troubled ,
But and
if ye suffer for
righteousness '
sake
, happy are ye :
and be not afraid of
their
terror
, neither
be troubled ;
and
the Lord God sanctify
in your hearts .
And `
be '
ready always for
defence
to every one
who
is
asking
of
you an
account
concerning
the hope that `
is '
in you ,
with meekness and fear ;
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 :
having a good conscience ,
that
in
that in
which
they speak against
you as evil-doers
, they may be ashamed who
are
traducing
your good behaviour
in Christ ;
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 .
for `
it is '
better doing
good
, if the will of God will
it
, to
suffer, than doing
evil ;
For it is better, if the will of God be
so
, that
ye
suffer for
well
doing
, than for
evil doing.
because
also
Christ once for sin
did
suffer
--
righteous
for unrighteous
--
that he might lead
us to God, having
been
put to death indeed,
in the flesh, and
having
been
made
alive
in
the spirit ,
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 :
in
which also to
the spirits in prison having
gone
he
did
preach,
By
which also he
went
and
preached
unto
the spirits in prison ;
who
sometime disbelieved
, when once the long-suffering
of God did
wait,
in days of Noah --
an
ark being
preparing --
in
which
few, that is, eight souls ,
were saved through
water ;
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 .
also
to
which
an
antitype
doth now save us --
baptism,
(not a
putting away of the filth of flesh, but the question
of a good conscience in
regard
to
God,) through
the rising
again
of Jesus Christ ,
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 :
who is at
the right hand of God ,
having
gone
on
to
heaven
--
messengers,
and authorities ,
and powers ,
having
been
subjected
to
him.
Who is gone
into
heaven,
and
is
on
the right hand of God ;
angels
and authorities and powers being
made
subject
unto
him.
