베드로전서 3
Korean Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
아내와 남편
3 아내인 여러분, 여러분도 마찬가지로 남편들에게 복종하십시오. 그러면 하나님의 말씀을 믿지 않는 남편들이, 아내가 말 한 마디 하지 않아도, 아내의 행실을 보고 말씀을 받아들이게 될 것입니다. 2 그들은 여러분의 경건하고 순결한 행실을 보게 될 것입니다. 3 여러분은 머리를 꾸미거나 금붙이를 달거나 좋은 옷을 입는 것과 같은 겉치장을 하지 마십시오. 4 썩지 않는 장식 곧 겸손하고 평화로운 성품으로 여러분의 속사람을 단장하십시오. 이런 것이 하나님 보시기에 아주 값진 것입니다. 5 하나님께 희망을 걸었던 지난날의 거룩한 여인들도 이렇게 자신들을 아름답게 꾸몄습니다. 그들은 자기 남편들에게 복종하였습니다. 6 사라가 바로 그런 여인이었습니다. 그는 남편 아브라함에게 순종하며, 남편을 ‘주’ 라고 불렀습니다. 여러분도 선한 일을 하고 어떤 놀랄 만한 일에도 무서워하지 않으면 사라의 딸들입니다.
7 남편인 여러분, 여러분도 마찬가지로 아내와 살면서 아내를 깊이 생각해 주십시오. 그들을 존중히 대접하십시오. 그들이 여러분보다 연약한 여성이기 때문입니다. 아내는 하나님께서 주시는 생명의 선물을 함께 나누는 사람입니다. 그렇게 하여 여러분의 기도가 막히지 않게 하십시오.
옳은 일을 위해 겪는 고난
8 끝으로 말합니다. 여러분은 모두 같은 마음을 가지고 살아가십시오. 서로 동정하고, 형제자매처럼 사랑하며, 자비를 베풀고, 겸손하게 사십시오. 9 악을 악으로 갚거나, 모욕을 모욕으로 갚지 말고, 오히려 복을 빌어 주십시오. 여러분은 이것을 위해서 하나님의 부르심을 받았습니다. 그것은 여러분이 하나님의 복을 유산으로 받게 하려는 것입니다. 성경은 말합니다.
10 “누구든지 생명을 누리고
좋은 시절을 맞이하고 싶은 사람은
혀를 조심하여 악한 말을 하지 말고
입술을 조심하여 거짓말을 하지 말아라.
11 그는 악을 버리고 선을 행하고
평화를 추구하고, 그것을 좇아야 한다.
12 주님의 눈은 의인들을 굽어보시고
주님의 귀는 그들의 기도를 들으신다.
그러나 악한 짓을 하는 자들에게서는
얼굴을 돌리신다.”(A)
13 여러분이 열심히 선한 일을 하려 하면, 누가 여러분을 해치려 하겠습니까? 14 혹 옳은 일을 위하여 고난을 당하더라도 여러분은 복이 있습니다. 그러므로 “그들이 두려워하는 것[a]을 두려워하지 말고, 겁먹지 마십시오.”(B) 15 오직 여러분의 마음속에 그리스도를 주님으로 거룩하게 모십시오. 그리고 여러분이 가진 희망에 관하여 설명을 듣고 싶어하는 사람들에게 언제라도 대답할 수 있도록 준비하고 계십시오. 16 그러나 답변을 할 때에는 그들을 존중하는 마음으로 부드럽게 하십시오. 여러분의 양심을 깨끗하게 지키십시오. 그리하여 여러분이 그리스도 안에서 실천하는 선한 행실을 헐뜯던 사람들이 부끄러움을 당하게 하십시오. 17 만일 고통을 당하는 것이 하나님의 뜻이라면, 선한 일을 하다가 고난을 당하는 것이 악한 짓을 하다가 고난을 당하는 것보다 낫습니다.
18 그리스도께서도 여러분의 죄 때문에
단 한 번이자 마지막으로 죽으셨습니다.
여러분을 하나님께 인도하시려고
죄를 지은 적이 없는 분이 죄인들을 위하여 죽으셨습니다.
그분의 몸은 죽임을 당했으나
성령으로 다시 살아나셨습니다.
19 또한 성령으로, 갇혀 있는 영들에게도 가셔서 기쁜 소식을 선포하셨습니다. 20 그 영들은 오래 전에 노아가 방주를 만들고 있는 동안에 하나님께서 참고 기다리셨으나 순종하지 않던 자들입니다. 노아가 만든 방주에 들어감으로써 물을 통하여 구원받은 사람은 겨우 여덟 사람뿐이었습니다. 21 그 물은 지금 여러분을 구원하는 세례와 같습니다. 세례는 몸에서 더러움을 씻어 내는 것이 아닙니다. 그것은 깨끗한 양심으로 살겠다고 하나님께 드리는 서약입니다. 세례는 예수 그리스도의 부활을 통하여 여러분을 구원합니다. 22 그리스도께서는 하늘로 올라가셔서 하나님의 오른편[b]에 앉아 계시며, 천사들과 권세들과 능력들을 다스리고 계십니다.
1 Peter 3
New King James Version
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.

Names of God Bible
3 Wives, in a similar way, place yourselves under your husbands’ authority. Some husbands may not obey God’s word. Their wives could win these men for Christ by the way they live without saying anything. 2 Their husbands would see how pure and reverent their lives are.
3 Wives must not let their beauty be something external. Beauty doesn’t come from hairstyles, gold jewelry, or clothes. 4 Rather, beauty is something internal that can’t be destroyed. Beauty expresses itself in a gentle and quiet attitude which God considers precious. 5 After all, this is how holy women who had confidence in God expressed their beauty in the past. They placed themselves under their husbands’ authority 6 as Sarah did. Sarah obeyed Abraham and spoke to him respectfully. You became Sarah’s daughters by not letting anything make you afraid to do good.
7 Husbands, in a similar way, live with your wives with understanding since they are weaker than you are. Honor your wives as those who share God’s life-giving kindness[a] so that nothing will interfere with your prayers.
Dedicate Your Lives to Jesus
8 Finally, everyone must live in harmony, be sympathetic, love each other, have compassion, and be humble. 9 Don’t pay people back with evil for the evil they do to you, or ridicule those who ridicule you. Instead, bless them, because you were called to inherit a blessing.
10 “People who want to live a full life and enjoy good days
must keep their tongues from saying evil things,
and their lips from speaking deceitful things.
11 They must turn away from evil and do good.
They must seek peace and pursue it.
12 The Lord’s eyes are on those who do what he approves.
His ears hear their prayer.
The Lord confronts those who do evil.”
13 Who will harm you if you are devoted to doing what is good? 14 But even if you suffer for doing what God approves, you are blessed. Don’t be afraid of those who want to harm you. Don’t get upset. 15 But dedicate your lives to Christ as Lord. Always be ready to defend your confidence in God when anyone asks you to explain it. However, make your defense with gentleness and respect. 16 Keep your conscience clear. Then those who treat the good Christian life you live with contempt will feel ashamed that they have ridiculed you. 17 After all, if it is God’s will, it’s better to suffer for doing good than for doing wrong.
18 This is true because Christ suffered for our sins once. He was an innocent person, but he suffered for guilty people so that he could bring you to God. His body was put to death, but he was brought to life through his spirit. 19 In it he also went to proclaim his victory to the spirits kept in prison. 20 They are like those who disobeyed long ago in the days of Noah when God waited patiently while Noah built the ship. In this ship a few people—eight in all—were saved by water. 21 Baptism, which is like that water, now saves you. Baptism doesn’t save by removing dirt from the body. Rather, baptism is a request to God for a clear conscience. It saves you through Yeshua Christ, who came back from death to life. 22 Christ has gone to heaven where he has the highest position that God gives. Angels, rulers, and powers have been placed under his authority.

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.
