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.

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)
