1 Peter 3

GNT

1 ὁμοίως [αἱ] γυναῖκες ὑποτασσόμεναι τοῖς ἰδίοις ἀνδράσιν, ἵνα καὶ εἴ τινες ἀπειθοῦσιν τῶ λόγῳ διὰ τῆς τῶν γυναικῶν ἀναστροφῆς ἄνευ λόγου κερδηθήσονται

2 ἐποπτεύσαντες τὴν ἐν φόβῳ ἁγνὴν ἀναστροφὴν ὑμῶν.

3 ὧν ἔστω οὐχ ὁ ἔξωθεν ἐμπλοκῆς τριχῶν καὶ περιθέσεως χρυσίων ἢ ἐνδύσεως ἱματίων κόσμος,

4 ἀλλ᾽ ὁ κρυπτὸς τῆς καρδίας ἄνθρωπος ἐν τῶ ἀφθάρτῳ τοῦ πραέως καὶ ἡσυχίου πνεύματος, ὅ ἐστιν ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ πολυτελές.

5 οὕτως γάρ ποτε καὶ αἱ ἅγιαι γυναῖκες αἱ ἐλπίζουσαι εἰς θεὸν ἐκόσμουν ἑαυτάς, ὑποτασσόμεναι τοῖς ἰδίοις ἀνδράσιν,

6 ὡς σάρρα ὑπήκουσεν τῶ ἀβραάμ, κύριον αὐτὸν καλοῦσα· ἧς ἐγενήθητε τέκνα ἀγαθοποιοῦσαι καὶ μὴ φοβούμεναι μηδεμίαν πτόησιν.

7 οἱ ἄνδρες ὁμοίως συνοικοῦντες κατὰ γνῶσιν, ὡς ἀσθενεστέρῳ σκεύει τῶ γυναικείῳ ἀπονέμοντες τιμήν, ὡς καὶ συγκληρονόμοις χάριτος ζωῆς, εἰς τὸ μὴ ἐγκόπτεσθαι τὰς προσευχὰς ὑμῶν.

8 τὸ δὲ τέλος πάντες ὁμόφρονες, συμπαθεῖς, φιλάδελφοι, εὔσπλαγχνοι, ταπεινόφρονες,

9 μὴ ἀποδιδόντες κακὸν ἀντὶ κακοῦ ἢ λοιδορίαν ἀντὶ λοιδορίας, τοὐναντίον δὲ εὐλογοῦντες, ὅτι εἰς τοῦτο ἐκλήθητε ἵνα εὐλογίαν κληρονομήσητε.

10 ὁ γὰρ θέλων ζωὴν ἀγαπᾶν καὶ ἰδεῖν ἡμέρας ἀγαθὰς παυσάτω τὴν γλῶσσαν ἀπὸ κακοῦ καὶ χείλη τοῦ μὴ λαλῆσαι δόλον,

11 ἐκκλινάτω δὲ ἀπὸ κακοῦ καὶ ποιησάτω ἀγαθόν, ζητησάτω εἰρήνην καὶ διωξάτω αὐτήν.

12 ὅτι ὀφθαλμοὶ κυρίου ἐπὶ δικαίους καὶ ὦτα αὐτοῦ εἰς δέησιν αὐτῶν, πρόσωπον δὲ κυρίου ἐπὶ ποιοῦντας κακά.

13 καὶ τίς ὁ κακώσων ὑμᾶς ἐὰν τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ ζηλωταὶ γένησθε;

14 ἀλλ᾽ εἰ καὶ πάσχοιτε διὰ δικαιοσύνην, μακάριοι. τὸν δὲ φόβον αὐτῶν μὴ φοβηθῆτε μηδὲ ταραχθῆτε,

15 κύριον δὲ τὸν χριστὸν ἁγιάσατε ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν, ἕτοιμοι ἀεὶ πρὸς ἀπολογίαν παντὶ τῶ αἰτοῦντι ὑμᾶς λόγον περὶ τῆς ἐν ὑμῖν ἐλπίδος,

16 ἀλλὰ μετὰ πραΰτητος καὶ φόβου, συνείδησιν ἔχοντες ἀγαθήν, ἵνα ἐν ᾧ καταλαλεῖσθε καταισχυνθῶσιν οἱ ἐπηρεάζοντες ὑμῶν τὴν ἀγαθὴν ἐν χριστῶ ἀναστροφήν.

17 κρεῖττον γὰρ ἀγαθοποιοῦντας, εἰ θέλοι τὸ θέλημα τοῦ θεοῦ, πάσχειν ἢ κακοποιοῦντας.

18 ὅτι καὶ χριστὸς ἅπαξ περὶ ἁμαρτιῶν ἔπαθεν, δίκαιος ὑπὲρ ἀδίκων, ἵνα ὑμᾶς προσαγάγῃ τῶ θεῶ, θανατωθεὶς μὲν σαρκὶ ζῳοποιηθεὶς δὲ πνεύματι·

19 ἐν ᾧ καὶ τοῖς ἐν φυλακῇ πνεύμασιν πορευθεὶς ἐκήρυξεν,

20 ἀπειθήσασίν ποτε ὅτε ἀπεξεδέχετο ἡ τοῦ θεοῦ μακροθυμία ἐν ἡμέραις νῶε κατασκευαζομένης κιβωτοῦ, εἰς ἣν ὀλίγοι, τοῦτ᾽ ἔστιν ὀκτὼ ψυχαί, διεσώθησαν δι᾽ ὕδατος.

21 ὃ καὶ ὑμᾶς ἀντίτυπον νῦν σῴζει βάπτισμα, οὐ σαρκὸς ἀπόθεσις ῥύπου ἀλλὰ συνειδήσεως ἀγαθῆς ἐπερώτημα εἰς θεόν, δι᾽ ἀναστάσεως ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ,

22 ὅς ἐστιν ἐν δεξιᾷ [τοῦ] θεοῦ, πορευθεὶς εἰς οὐρανόν, ὑποταγέντων αὐτῶ ἀγγέλων καὶ ἐξουσιῶν καὶ δυνάμεων.

1  Likewise,³⁶⁶⁸ ye wives,¹¹³⁵ be in subjection⁵²⁹³ to your own²³⁹⁸ husbands;⁴³⁵ that,²⁴⁴³ if any¹⁵³⁶ obey not⁵⁴⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ word,³⁰⁵⁶ they also²⁵³² may without⁴²⁷ the word³⁰⁵⁶ be won²⁷⁷⁰ by¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ conversation³⁹¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ wives;¹¹³⁵

2  While they behold²⁰²⁹ your⁵²¹⁶ chaste⁵³ conversation³⁹¹ coupled with¹⁷²² fear.⁵⁴⁰¹

3  Whose³⁷³⁹ adorning²⁸⁸⁹ let it not³⁷⁵⁶ be²⁰⁷⁷ that³⁵⁸⁸ outward¹⁸⁵⁵ adorning of plaiting¹⁷⁰⁸ the hair,²³⁵⁹ and²⁵³² of wearing⁴⁰²⁵ of gold,⁵⁵⁵³ or²²²⁸ of putting on¹⁷⁴⁵ of apparel;²⁴⁴⁰

4  But²³⁵ let it be the³⁵⁸⁸ hidden²⁹²⁷ man⁴⁴⁴ of the³⁵⁸⁸ heart,²⁵⁸⁸ in¹⁷²² that which is not corruptible,⁸⁶² even the ornament of a meek⁴²³⁹ and²⁵³² quiet²²⁷² spirit,⁴¹⁵¹ which³⁷³⁹ is²⁰⁷⁶ in the sight¹⁷⁹⁹ of God²³¹⁶ of great price.⁴¹⁸⁵

5  For¹⁰⁶³ after this manner³⁷⁷⁹ in the old time⁴²¹⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ holy⁴⁰ women¹¹³⁵ also,²⁵³² who trusted¹⁶⁷⁹ in¹⁹⁰⁹ God,²³¹⁶ adorned²⁸⁸⁵ themselves,¹⁴³⁸ being in subjection⁵²⁹³ unto their own²³⁹⁸ husbands:⁴³⁵

6  Even as⁵⁶¹³ Sarah⁴⁵⁶⁴ obeyed⁵²¹⁹ Abraham,¹¹ calling²⁵⁶⁴ him⁸⁴⁶ lord:²⁹⁶² whose³⁷³⁹ daughters⁵⁰⁴³ ye are,¹⁰⁹⁶ as long as ye do well,¹⁵ and²⁵³² are not afraid^{5399 3361} with any³³⁶⁷ amazement.⁴⁴²³

7  Likewise,³⁶⁶⁸ ye husbands,⁴³⁵ dwell with⁴⁹²⁴ them according²⁵⁹⁶ to knowledge,¹¹⁰⁸ giving⁶³² honor⁵⁰⁹² unto the³⁵⁸⁸ wife,¹¹³⁴ as⁵⁶¹³ unto the weaker⁷⁷² vessel,⁴⁶³² and²⁵³² as⁵⁶¹³ being heirs together⁴⁷⁸⁹ of the grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ of life;²²²² that your⁵²¹⁶ prayers⁴³³⁵ be not³³⁶¹ hindered.¹⁵⁸¹

8  Finally,⁵⁰⁵⁶ be ye all³⁹⁵⁶ of one mind,³⁶⁷⁵ having compassion one of another,⁴⁸³⁵ love as brethren,⁵³⁶¹ be pitiful,²¹⁵⁵ be courteous:⁵³⁹¹

9  Not³³⁶¹ rendering⁵⁹¹ evil²⁵⁵⁶ for⁴⁷³ evil,²⁵⁵⁶ or²²²⁸ railing³⁰⁵⁹ for⁴⁷³ railing:³⁰⁵⁹ but¹¹⁶¹ contrariwise⁵¹²¹ blessing;²¹²⁷ knowing¹⁴⁹² that³⁷⁵⁴ ye are thereunto^{1519 5124} called,²⁵⁶⁴ that²⁴⁴³ ye should inherit²⁸¹⁶ a blessing.²¹²⁹

10  For¹⁰⁶³ he that will²³⁰⁹ love²⁵ life,²²²² and²⁵³² see¹⁴⁹² good¹⁸ days,²²⁵⁰ let him refrain³⁹⁷³ his⁸⁴⁸ tongue¹¹⁰⁰ from⁵⁷⁵ evil,²⁵⁵⁶ and²⁵³² his⁸⁴⁸ lips⁵⁴⁹¹ that they speak²⁹⁸⁰ no³³⁶¹ guile:¹³⁸⁸

11  Let him eschew¹⁵⁷⁸ evil,²⁵⁵⁶ and²⁵³² do⁴¹⁶⁰ good;¹⁸ let him seek²²¹² peace,¹⁵¹⁵ and²⁵³² ensue¹³⁷⁷ it.⁸⁴⁶

12  For³⁷⁵⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ eyes³⁷⁸⁸ of the Lord²⁹⁶² are over¹⁹⁰⁹ the righteous,¹³⁴² and²⁵³² his⁸⁴⁶ ears³⁷⁷⁵ are open unto¹⁵¹⁹ their⁸⁴⁶ prayers:¹¹⁶² but¹¹⁶¹ the face⁴³⁸³ of the Lord²⁹⁶² is against¹⁹⁰⁹ them that do⁴¹⁶⁰ evil.²⁵⁵⁶

13  And²⁵³² who⁵¹⁰¹ is he that will harm²⁵⁵⁹ you,⁵²⁰⁹ if¹⁴³⁷ ye be¹⁰⁹⁶ followers³⁴⁰² of that which is good?¹⁸

14  But²³⁵ and²⁵³² if¹⁴⁸⁷ ye suffer³⁹⁵⁸ for righteousness' sake,^{1223 1343} happy³¹⁰⁷ are ye: and¹¹⁶¹ be not afraid^{5399 3361} of their⁸⁴⁶ terror,⁵⁴⁰¹ neither³³⁶⁶ be troubled;⁵⁰¹⁵

15  But¹¹⁶¹ sanctify³⁷ the Lord²⁹⁶² God²³¹⁶ in¹⁷²² your⁵²¹⁶ hearts:²⁵⁸⁸ and¹¹⁶¹ be ready²⁰⁹² always¹⁰⁴ to give an answer^{4314 627} to every man³⁹⁵⁶ that asketh¹⁵⁴ you⁵²⁰⁹ a reason³⁰⁵⁶ of⁴⁰¹² the³⁵⁸⁸ hope¹⁶⁸⁰ that is in¹⁷²² you⁵²¹³ with³³²⁶ meekness⁴²⁴⁰ and²⁵³² fear:⁵⁴⁰¹

16  Having²¹⁹² a good¹⁸ conscience;⁴⁸⁹³ that,²⁴⁴³ whereas^{1722 3739} they speak evil of²⁶³⁵ you,⁵²¹⁶ as⁵⁶¹³ of evildoers,²⁵⁵⁵ they may be ashamed²⁶¹⁷ that falsely accuse¹⁹⁰⁸ your⁵²¹⁶ good¹⁸ conversation³⁹¹ in¹⁷²² Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

17  For¹⁰⁶³ it is better,²⁹⁰⁹ if¹⁴⁸⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ will²³⁰⁷ of God²³¹⁶ be²³⁰⁹ so, that ye suffer³⁹⁵⁸ for well doing,¹⁵ than²²²⁸ for evil doing.²⁵⁵⁴

18  For³⁷⁵⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ also²⁵³² hath once⁵³⁰ suffered³⁹⁵⁸ for⁴⁰¹² sins,²⁶⁶ the just¹³⁴² for⁵²²⁸ the unjust,⁹⁴ that²⁴⁴³ he might bring⁴³¹⁷ us²²⁴⁸ to God,²³¹⁶ being put to death²²⁸⁹ in the³³⁰³ flesh,⁴⁵⁶¹ but¹¹⁶¹ quickened²²²⁷ by the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit:⁴¹⁵¹

19  By¹⁷²² which³⁷³⁹ also²⁵³² he went⁴¹⁹⁸ and preached²⁷⁸⁴ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ spirits⁴¹⁵¹ in¹⁷²² prison;⁵⁴³⁸

20  Which sometime⁴²¹⁸ were disobedient,⁵⁴⁴ when³⁷⁵³ once⁵³⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ longsuffering³¹¹⁵ of God²³¹⁶ waited¹⁵⁵¹ in¹⁷²² the days²²⁵⁰ of Noah,³⁵⁷⁵ while the ark²⁷⁸⁷ was a preparing,²⁶⁸⁰ wherein^{1519 3739} few,³⁶⁴¹ that is,⁵¹²³ eight³⁶³⁸ souls⁵⁵⁹⁰ were saved¹²⁹⁵ by¹²²³ water.⁵²⁰⁴

21  The like figure⁴⁹⁹ whereunto³⁷³⁹ even baptism⁹⁰⁸ doth also²⁵³² now³⁵⁶⁸ save⁴⁹⁸² us²²⁴⁸ (not³⁷⁵⁶ the putting away⁵⁹⁵ of the filth⁴⁵⁰⁹ of the flesh,⁴⁵⁶¹ but²³⁵ the answer¹⁹⁰⁶ of a good¹⁸ conscience⁴⁸⁹³ toward¹⁵¹⁹ God,)²³¹⁶ by¹²²³ the resurrection³⁸⁶ of Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ:⁵⁵⁴⁷

22  Who³⁷³⁹ is gone⁴¹⁹⁸ into¹⁵¹⁹ heaven,³⁷⁷² and is²⁰⁷⁶ on¹⁷²² the right hand¹¹⁸⁸ of God;²³¹⁶ angels³² and²⁵³² authorities¹⁸⁴⁹ and²⁵³² powers¹⁴¹¹ being made subject unto⁵²⁹³ him.⁸⁴⁶

Vul

1 Similiter et mulieres subditæ sint viris suis: ut etsi qui non credunt verbo, per mulierem conversationem sine verbo lucrifiant:

2 considerantes in timore castam conversationem vestram.

3 Quarum non sit extrinsecus capillatura, aut circumdatio auri, aut indumenti vestimentorum cultus:

4 sed qui absconditus est cordis homo, in incorruptibilitate quieti, et modesti spiritus, qui est in conspectu Dei locuples.

5 Sic enim aliquando et sanctæ mulieres, sperantes in Deo, ornabant se, subjectæ propriis viris.

6 Sicut Sara obediebat Abrahæ, dominum eum vocans: cujus estis filiæ benefacientes, et non pertimentes ullam perturbationem.

7 Viri similiter cohabitantes secundum scientiam, quasi infirmiori vasculo muliebri impartientes honorem, tamquam et cohæredibus gratiæ vitæ: ut non impediantur orationes vestræ.

8 In fine autem omnes unanimes, compatientes fraternitatis amatores, misericordes, modesti, humiles:

9 non reddentes malum pro malo, nec maledictum pro maledicto, sed e contrario benedicentes: quia in hoc vocati estis, ut benedictionem hæreditate possideatis.

10 Qui enim vult vitam diligere, et dies videre bonos, coërceat linguam suam a malo, et labia ejus ne loquantur dolum.

11 Declinet a malo, et faciat bonum: inquirat pacem, et sequatur eam:

12 quia oculi Domini super justos, et aures ejus in preces eorum: vultus autem Domini super facientes mala.

13 Et quis est qui vobis noceat, si boni æmulatores fueritis?

14 Sed et si quid patimini propter justitiam, beati. Timorem autem eorum ne timueritis, et non conturbemini.

15 Dominum autem Christum sanctificate in cordibus vestris, parati semper ad satisfactionem omni poscenti vos rationem de ea, quæ in vobis est, spe.

16 Sed cum modestia, et timore, conscientiam habentes bonam: ut in eo, quod detrahunt vobis, confundantur, qui calumniantur vestram bonam in Christo conversationem.

17 Melius est enim benefacientes (si voluntas Dei velit) pati, quam malefacientes.

18 Quia et Christus semel pro peccatis nostris mortuus est, justus pro injustis, ut nos offerret Deo, mortificatus quidem carne, vivificatus autem spiritu.

19 In quo et his, qui in carcere erant, spiritibus veniens prædicavit:

20 qui increduli fuerant aliquando, quando exspectabant Dei patientiam in diebus Noë, cum fabricaretur arca: in qua pauci, id est octo animæ, salvæ factæ sunt per aquam.

21 Quod et vos nunc similis formæ salvos fecit baptisma: non carnis depositio sordium, sed conscientiæ bonæ interrogatio in Deum per resurrectionem Jesu Christi.

22 Qui est in dextera Dei, deglutiens mortem ut vitæ æternæ hæredes efficeremur: profectus in cælum subjectis sibi angelis, et potestatibus, et virtutibus.
