彼得前书 3
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
教导做妻子的
3 你们做妻子的，要顺服自己的丈夫。这样，若有不信从道理的丈夫，他们虽然不听道，也可以因妻子的品行被感化过来， 2 这正是因看见你们有贞洁的品行和敬畏的心。 3 你们不要以外面的辫头发、戴金饰、穿美衣为装饰， 4 只要以里面存着长久温柔、安静的心为装饰，这在神面前是极宝贵的。 5 因为古时仰赖神的圣洁妇人正是以此为装饰，顺服自己的丈夫， 6 就如撒拉听从亚伯拉罕，称他为主。你们若行善，不因恐吓而害怕，便是撒拉的女儿了。
教导做丈夫的
7 你们做丈夫的，也要按情理[a]和妻子同住，因她比你软弱[b]，与你一同承受生命之恩的，所以要敬重她。这样，便叫你们的祷告没有阻碍。
教导众人
8 总而言之，你们都要同心，彼此体恤，相爱如弟兄，存慈怜谦卑的心。 9 不以恶报恶、以辱骂还辱骂，倒要祝福，因你们是为此蒙召，好叫你们承受福气。 10 因为经上说：“人若爱生命，愿享美福，须要禁止舌头不出恶言，嘴唇不说诡诈的话； 11 也要离恶行善，寻求和睦，一心追赶。
为义受苦是有福的
12 因为主的眼看顾义人，主的耳听他们的祈祷；唯有行恶的人，主向他们变脸。” 13 你们若是热心行善，有谁害你们呢？ 14 你们就是为义受苦，也是有福的。不要怕人的威吓[c]，也不要惊慌， 15 只要心里尊主基督为圣。有人问你们心中盼望的缘由，就要常做准备，以温柔、敬畏的心回答各人， 16 存着无亏的良心，叫你们在何事上被毁谤，就在何事上可以叫那诬赖你们在基督里有好品行的人自觉羞愧。
基督受苦是义的代替不义的
17 神的旨意若是叫你们因行善受苦，总强如因行恶受苦。 18 因基督也曾一次为罪受苦[d]，就是义的代替不义的，为要引我们到神面前。按着肉体说，他被治死；按着灵性说，他复活了。 19 他借这灵曾去传道给那些在监狱里的灵听， 20 就是那从前在挪亚预备方舟、神容忍等待的时候不信从的人。当时进入方舟，借着水得救的不多，只有八个人。 21 这水所表明的洗礼，现在借着耶稣基督复活也拯救你们；这洗礼本不在乎除掉肉体的污秽，只求在神面前有无亏的良心。 22 耶稣已经进入天堂，在神的右边，众天使和有权柄的并有能力的，都服从了他。

夫妻之道
3 1-2 照样，做妻子的要顺服丈夫。这样，即使丈夫不信从真道，也会因为看见妻子贞洁和敬虔的品行而被无声地感化。 3 你们不要注重外表的妆饰，像编头发、戴金饰或穿华丽的衣服， 4 要以温柔、娴静这些永不褪色的内在美为妆饰，这是上帝所看重的。 5 从前那些仰赖上帝的圣洁妇女，都是以这些来妆饰自己，并顺服自己的丈夫， 6 正如撒拉顺服亚伯拉罕，称他为主人。所以，如果你们做对的事，不怕恐吓，就是撒拉的女儿。
7 你们做丈夫的也一样，要按情理[a]与妻子共同生活，因为她们比你们软弱。要敬重她们，因为她们和你们一同承受上帝施恩赐下的生命。这样，你们的祷告就可以畅通无阻了。
要为义受苦
8 总而言之，你们要同心合意，互相关怀，彼此相爱，仁慈谦虚。 9 不要以恶报恶，以辱骂还辱骂，反要祝福对方，这是你们蒙召的目的，好叫你们得到祝福。 10 因为圣经上说：
“若有人热爱生命，
渴望幸福，
就要舌头不出恶言，
嘴唇不说诡诈的话。
11 要弃恶行善，竭力追求和睦。
12 因为主的眼睛看顾义人，
祂的耳朵垂听他们的祈求。
但主必严惩作恶之人。”
13 如果你们热心行善，有谁会害你们呢？ 14 就算你们为义受苦，也是有福的。不要害怕别人的恐吓[b]，也不要惊慌， 15 要心里尊基督为主。如果有人问起你们心中的盼望，你们要随时准备答复， 16 但态度要温和恭敬，存无愧的良心。这样，那些对你们因信基督而有的好品行妄加诬蔑的人会自觉羞愧。 17 如果上帝的旨意是要你们因行善而受苦，这也总比你们因作恶而受苦强。
18 因为基督也曾一次为罪受苦，以无罪之身代替不义之人，为要领你们到上帝面前。祂的肉体虽被处死，但祂借着圣灵复活了。 19 祂还借着圣灵向那些监狱中的灵魂传道， 20 他们就是从前在挪亚造方舟、上帝耐心等候人们悔改的时代中那些不肯信的人。当时进入方舟，从洪水中得救的人很少，只有八个人。 21 这水代表的洗礼现在借着耶稣基督的复活也拯救了你们。这洗礼要表明的不是除掉肉体的污秽，而是求在上帝面前有无愧的良心。 22 基督已经升到天上，坐在上帝的右边，众天使、掌权的、有能力的都服从了祂。
1 Peter 3
King James Version
3 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;
2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
4 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.
5 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:
6 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.
7 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.
8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
10 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:
11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
12 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.
13 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
15 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:
16 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.
17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
18 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:
19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
20 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.
21 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:
22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
