1 Peter 3:7-9
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Honor Your Wives As Fellow Heirs of The Gift of Life
7 Husbands likewise, living-with them[a] according-to[b] knowledge[c], showing honor to the feminine[d] one as to[e] the weaker vessel[f], as indeed to your fellow-heirs of the grace[g] of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.
Everyone Be Loving, Humbleminded, And Doing Good
8 And finally, everyone— being likeminded[h], sympathetic, brother-loving, tender-hearted[i], humbleminded, 9 not giving-back evil for evil or reviling[j] for reviling, but on the contrary, blessing them. Because you were called to this, in order that you might inherit a blessing.
