I Phi-rơ 3
Vietnamese Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
Tương quan vợ chồng
3 Cũng vậy, vợ phải vâng phục chồng mình, để nếu có người chồng nào không vâng theo lời dạy của Thượng Đế thì sẽ được cảm hóa do nếp sống của người vợ, không cần ai khuyên bảo. 2 Chồng của các chị em sẽ thấy nếp sống tinh sạch và kính sợ Thượng Đế của chị em. 3 Vẻ đẹp của chị em không phải do làm tóc, đeo nữ trang vàng bạc, hoặc mặc áo quần lòe loẹt đâu. 4 Vẻ đẹp của chị em là do bề trong—một cái đẹp thùy mị, dịu dàng và tâm thần bình thản không bao giờ tiêu mất mới quí báu trước mặt Thượng Đế. 5 Các nữ thánh xưa cũng sống như thế, nhờ tin cậy Thượng Đế, vâng phục chồng mình mà họ trở nên đẹp. 6 Sa-ra vâng phục Áp-ra-ham, chồng mình, gọi ông là chủ mình. Chị em sẽ là con cháu thật của Sa-ra nếu chị em luôn luôn làm điều phải, không sợ hãi gì.
7 Ngược lại, chồng cũng phải thông cảm vợ vì vợ yếu đuối hơn mình. Hãy biết quí trọng vợ, vì nàng cũng được thừa kế phần ân phúc của sự sống, để không có gì cản trở sự cầu nguyện của anh em.
Chịu khổ vì làm điều phải
8 Sau hết, tất cả các anh chị em phải sống hòa thuận với nhau, thông cảm nhau, yêu thương nhau như người trong gia đình, hãy nhân từ và khiêm nhường. 9 Đừng lấy ác trả ác, lấy sỉ nhục trả sỉ nhục, nhưng hãy đáp lại bằng lời chúc phước vì anh chị em được kêu gọi phải đối xử với mọi người như thế để nhận được ân phúc. 10 Thánh Kinh viết,
“Ai muốn vui hưởng cuộc đời
và sống hạnh phúc, thì nên sống như thế.
Không nên nói lời cay độc, không nên nói dối.
11 Phải tránh điều ác, theo đuổi điều thiện.
Hãy tìm kiếm và phục vụ cho hòa bình.
12 Mắt Chúa trông chừng người nhân đức,
lỗ tai Ngài nghe lời cầu nguyện của họ.
Nhưng Ngài nghịch lại những kẻ làm ác.” (A)
13 Nếu anh chị em cố gắng làm lành thì ai có thể hại anh chị em được? 14 Nhưng nếu anh chị em chịu khổ vì làm điều phải thì anh chị em có phúc. “Đừng sợ điều họ sợ; đừng kinh hãi vì những điều ấy.” [a] 15 Hãy tôn Chúa Cứu Thế làm thánh trong lòng mình. Luôn luôn sẵn sàng trả lời bất cứ người nào yêu cầu anh chị em giải thích về hi vọng của mình, 16 hãy trả lời một cách ôn hòa, lễ độ. Hãy giữ lương tâm cho trong sạch để những kẻ chê bai nếp sống tốt đẹp của anh chị em trong Chúa Cứu Thế cảm thấy xấu hổ. 17 Thà chịu khổ vì làm lành còn hơn chịu khổ vì làm ác, nếu đó là ý muốn Thượng Đế. 18 Chính Chúa Cứu Thế đã chịu khổ khi Ngài chịu chết vì anh chị em. Nhờ sự chết ấy Ngài đền tội cho anh chị em. Ngài là Đấng vô tội, nhưng đã chịu khổ thay cho kẻ có tội để đưa anh chị em về với Thượng Đế. Thân thể Ngài chịu giết nhưng đã được sống lại nhờ Thánh Linh. [b] 19 Và nhờ Thánh Linh, Ngài đi loan báo sự đắc thắng của Ngài cho các linh hồn trong tù, 20 là những người không vâng phục Thượng Đế từ xưa lắm, vào thời Nô-ê. Trong khi Nô-ê đóng tàu thì Thượng Đế kiên nhẫn chờ đợi. Thế mà chỉ có vài người—tất cả chỉ có tám người—được cứu qua nước mà thôi. 21 Nước ấy cũng giống như phép báp-têm ngày nay cứu rỗi anh chị em—không phải rửa sạch thân thể nhưng là lời cam kết với Thượng Đế để sống bằng lương tâm trong sạch. Được như thế là nhờ Chúa Cứu Thế Giê-xu đã sống lại từ trong kẻ chết. 22 Nay Ngài đã trở về thiên đàng, ngồi bên phải Thượng Đế và đang cai quản các thiên sứ, các bậc cầm quyền và mọi thế lực.

1 Peter 3
New International Version
1 Peter 3
New International Version
3 Wives, in the same way submit yourselves(A) to your own husbands(B) so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over(C) without words by the behavior of their wives, 2 when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. 3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes.(D) 4 Rather, it should be that of your inner self,(E) the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.(F) 5 For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God(G) used to adorn themselves.(H) They submitted themselves to their own husbands, 6 like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord.(I) You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.
7 Husbands,(J) in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.
Suffering for Doing Good
8 Finally, all of you, be like-minded,(K) be sympathetic, love one another,(L) be compassionate and humble.(M) 9 Do not repay evil with evil(N) or insult with insult.(O) On the contrary, repay evil with blessing,(P) because to this(Q) you were called(R) so that you may inherit a blessing.(S) 10 For,
“Whoever would love life
and see good days
must keep their tongue from evil
and their lips from deceitful speech.
11 They must turn from evil and do good;
they must seek peace and pursue it.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
and his ears are attentive to their prayer,
but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”[a](T)
13 Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good?(U) 14 But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed.(V) “Do not fear their threats[b]; do not be frightened.”[c](W) 15 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer(X) to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope(Y) that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 16 keeping a clear conscience,(Z) so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.(AA) 17 For it is better, if it is God’s will,(AB) to suffer for doing good(AC) than for doing evil. 18 For Christ also suffered once(AD) for sins,(AE) the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.(AF) He was put to death in the body(AG) but made alive in the Spirit.(AH) 19 After being made alive,[d] he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits(AI)— 20 to those who were disobedient long ago when God waited patiently(AJ) in the days of Noah while the ark was being built.(AK) In it only a few people, eight in all,(AL) were saved(AM) through water, 21 and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you(AN) also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience(AO) toward God.[e] It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,(AP) 22 who has gone into heaven(AQ) and is at God’s right hand(AR)—with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him.(AS)

King James Version
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.

Submission to Husbands
3 Wives, likewise, be (A)submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, (B)they, without a word, may (C)be won by the conduct of their wives, 2 (D)when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear. 3 (E)Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— 4 rather let it be (F)the hidden person of the heart, with the [a]incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. 5 For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands, 6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, (G)calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror.
A Word to Husbands
7 (H)Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, (I)as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, (J)that your prayers may not be hindered.
Called to Blessing
8 Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be [b]courteous; 9 (K)not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary (L)blessing, knowing that you were called to this, (M)that you may inherit a blessing. 10 For
(N)“He who would love life
And see good days,
(O)Let him [c]refrain his tongue from evil,
And his lips from speaking deceit.
11 Let him (P)turn away from evil and do good;
(Q)Let him seek peace and pursue it.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
(R)And His ears are open to their prayers;
But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
Suffering for Right and Wrong
13 (S)And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good? 14 (T)But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. (U)“And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.” 15 But [d]sanctify [e]the Lord God in your hearts, and always (V)be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the (W)hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; 16 (X)having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed. 17 For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.
Christ’s Suffering and Ours
18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring [f]us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, 19 by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, 20 who formerly were disobedient, [g]when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water. 21 (Y)There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (Z)(not the removal of the filth of the flesh, (AA)but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who has gone into heaven and (AB)is at the right hand of God, (AC)angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.
