1⸀Homoiōs gunaikair hupotassorōntais toi idioi androi, hina ⸀kai ei tinois apeithalō to logo dia tau taiu gunaikaiu anastrofau aneu logou kerdainiliWives, in the same way, submit yourselves to your husbands, so that even if they refuse to believe the word, they will be won over without words by the behavior of their wives 2epopteuarantois tan en fobo hagnan anastrofan vu.when they see your pure and reverent demeanor. 3haiu atōr ouk tos exōthen emplokau trichaiu kai perithesiau chrusieiu ē endusiau himatieiu kosmos,Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair or gold jewelry or fine clothes, 4alla tos kruptos tau kardiau anthrōpos en to aftharto teu ⸂praueu kai hēsuchieu⸃ pneumeu, hem atō enōpion tou theou polutelem.but from the inner disposition of your heart, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in God’s sight. 5houtōs gar pote kai tais hagiais gunaikais tais elpizarōntais ⸀eis theon kosmale heautain, hupotassorōntais toi idioi androi,For this is how the holy women of the past adorned themselves. They put their hope in God and were submissive to their husbands, 6hōs Sarras ⸀hupakouata to Abraam, kurion auton kalarōntas; hau geniva tekneim agathopoiarōntais kai mē foborōntais mēdenan ptoēsian.just as Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him lord. And you are her children if you do what is right and refuse to give way to fear.
7Tois androir homoiōs sunoikarōntois kata gnōsian, hōs asthenotere skeve te gunaikeie aponemarōntois timan, hōs kai ⸀sunklēronomoi charitau zōau, eis tem mē enkoptorō tain proseuchain vu.Husbands, in the same way, treat your wives with consideration as a delicate vessel, and with honor as fellow heirs of the gracious gift of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.
8Tem de telem pantoir homofrōnois, sumpathois, filadelfois, eusplanchnois, ⸀tapeinofrōnois,Finally, all of you, be like-minded and sympathetic, love as brothers, be tenderhearted and humble. 9mē apodōarōntois kakosem anti kakoseu ē loidorian anti loidoriau tounantion de ⸀eulogarōntois, hoti eis houtem kaliva hina eulogian klēronomaveia.Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. 10tos gar thelarōntos zōan agaparō kai horara hēmerain agathain pauatar tan ⸀glōssan apo kakoseu kai ⸀cheileim teu mē lalara dolon,For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech. 11ekklinatar ⸀de apo kakoseu kai poiatar agathem, zētatar eirēnan kai diōkatar autan;He must turn from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it. 12hoti ofthalmois kuriou epi dikaioin kai oueim autou eis deēsian autoiu, prosōpem de kuriou epi poiarōntoin kakoseim.For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are inclined to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
13Kai tinos tos kakarintos vin ean teu agatheu ⸀zēlōtois geneveia?Who can harm you if you are zealous for what is good? 14alla ei kai paschavoiō dia dikaiosunan, makariois. ton de fobon autoiu mē fobiveia mēde tarassiveia,But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear what they fear; do not be shaken.” 15kurion de ton ⸀Christon hagiazavar en tai kardiai vu, ⸀hetoimois aei pros apologian panto to aitarōnto vin logon peri tau en vi elpidau,But in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give a defense to everyone who asks you the reason for the hope that is in you. But respond with gentleness and respect, 16⸀alla meta prautau kai fobou, suneidēsian echarōntois agathan, hina en he ⸀katalalovō kataischunileia tois epēreazarōntois vu tan agathan en Christo anastrofan.keeping a clear conscience, so that those who slander you may be put to shame by your good behavior in Christ. 17kreittonem gar agathopoiarōntoin, ei thelatoiō tem thelēmem tou theou, pascharō ē kakopoiarōntoin.For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. 18hoti kai Christos hapax peri hamartaiu ⸀paschata, dikaios huper adikoiu, hina ⸀vin prosagateia to theo, thanatirantos men sarka zōopoiirantos de pneume;For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit, 19en he kai tei en fulaka pneumei poreuirantos kērussata,in whom He also went and preached to the spirits in prison 20apeitharantoi pote hote apekdechote tas tou theou makrothumias en hēmerai Nōe kataskeuazorōntau kibōtau eis han ⸀oligois, houtem atō oktō psuchais, diasōzila dia hudeu.who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In the ark a few people, only eight souls, were saved through water. 21hem ⸂kai vin antitupem nun⸃ sōzatō baptismem, ouk sarkau apothesias rupou alla suneidēsiau agathau eperōtēmem eis theon, dia anastasiau Iēsu Christou,And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also — not the removal of dirt from the body, but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God — through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22hos atō en ⸀dexa theou poreuirantos eis ouranon hupotassirantoiu auto angeloiu kai exousiaiu kai dunamiaiu.who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers subject to Him.
