1 Pedro 3
Ang Pulong Sa Dios
Alang sa mga Magtiayon
3 Ug karon, kamong mga asawa, kinahanglan magpasakop kamo sa inyong mga bana, aron nga kon ang inyong mga bana wala motuo sa pulong sa Dios, madala ninyo sila sa Ginoo pinaagi sa inyong maayong pamatasan bisan dili na ninyo sila sultihan. 2 Kay makita nila nga nagatahod kamo sa Dios ug ang inyong pamatasan dili salawayon. 3 Kon gusto ninyo nga mahimong matahom, kini dili pinaagi sa pagpangarte sa inyong buhok nga butangan sa mahalon nga mga alahas, o pagsul-ob sa mahalon nga bisti, 4 kondili patahomon ninyo ang sulod sa inyong kasingkasing, sa maayo nga pamatasan nga dili gayod mausab. Magmalumo kamo ug magbinuotan. Mao kini ang bililhon alang sa Dios. 5 Ug mao kini ang gibuhat kaniadto sa mga diosnong babaye nga nagsalig sa Dios. Nagpatahom sila pinaagi sa ilang pagpasakop sa ilang mga bana. 6 Sama ni Sara, gituman niya si Abraham ug giisip niya nga iyang agalon. Kamo karon mga anak na ni Sara, busa kinahanglan maayo ang inyong binuhatan[a] ug dili kamo mahadlok sa bisan unsa.
7 Kamo usab nga mga bana, sabta ninyo ang inyong mga asawa sumala sa inyong nasayran isip Kristohanon. Tahora ninyo sila isip mga babaye nga mas mahuyang kay kanato. Kay gihatagan usab sila sa Dios ug kinabuhi nga walay kataposan sama kanato. Kon dili kini ninyo buhaton, dili tubagon sa Dios ang inyong mga pag-ampo.
Maghinigugmaay Kamong Tanan
8 Karon, ania ang akong tugon kaninyong tanan: kinahanglan maghiusa kamo sa inyong hunahuna ug magbinatiay sa usag usa. Paghinigugmaay kamo isip managsoon. Pagmaluloy-on kamo ug pagmapainubsanon sa usag usa. 9 Ayaw ninyo balosi ug daotan ang nagbuhat ug daotan kaninyo, ug ayaw usab ninyo insultoha ang nanginsulto kaninyo. Ang angay ninyong buhaton, mag-ampo kamo nga kaloy-an sila sa Dios, tungod kay gipili kamo sa Dios sa pagbuhat niini, aron kaloy-an usab niya kamo. 10 Kay nagaingon ang Kasulatan,
“Si bisan kinsa nga nagtinguha sa malipayon ug maayo nga
kinabuhi kinahanglan nga magpugong sa pagsulti ug daotan ug sa pagpamakak.
11 Kinahanglan biyaan niya ang daotan, ug magbuhat siya ug maayo.
Paningkamotan niya nga mahimong malinawon kanunay ang iyang pagpakig-uban sa iyang isigka-tawo.
12 Kay bantayan sa Ginoo ang mga matarong
ug tubagon niya ang ilang mga pag-ampo.
Apan kasilagan niya ang mga nagahimo ug daotan.”[b]
13 Kinsa bay mopasipala kaninyo kon gusto gayod ninyo magbuhat kanunay ug maayo? 14 Apan kon mag-antos kamo tungod sa inyong pagbuhat ug maayo, bulahan kamo. Busa ayaw kamo kahadlok o kabalaka kon unsay ilang buhaton kaninyo. 15 Hinumdomi ninyo nga si Cristo mao ang angay ninyong tahoron ug sundon. Ug mag-andam kamo kanunay sa pagtubag kang bisan kinsa nga mangutana kaninyo bahin sa inyong paglaom. 16 Tubaga ninyo sila sa malumo nga pamaagi ug may pagtahod. Siguroha ninyo nga kanunayng hinlo ang inyong konsensya, aron maulawan ang mga tawo nga nagapakadaotan sa inyong maayo nga mga binuhatan isip mga sumusunod ni Cristo. 17 Mas maayo pa nga mag-antos kamo tungod sa inyong gibuhat nga maayo, kon mao kana ang kabubut-on sa Dios, kaysa mag-antos kamo tungod kay nakabuhat kamo ug daotan. 18 Kay si Cristo gani gipatay bisan wala siya makabuhat ug daotan. Ug kausa lang siya namatay aron mapasaylo ang atong mga sala. Siya nga walay sala gipatay alang kanato nga mga makasasala aron madala niya kita sa Dios. Tinuod gipatay siya sa iyang lawasnon nga kahimtang, apan gibuhi siya sa espirituhanon nga kahimtang. 19-20 Ug sa iyang espirituhanong kahimtang, miadto siya bisan sa mga pinirisong espiritu sa mga tawo nga wala magsunod sa Dios sa panahon ni Noe. Kaniadto mapailubon ang Dios nga naghulat kanila nga motuo sila kaniya samtang gibuhat ni Noe ang arka. Apan walo lang gayod ka tawo ang nagtuo ug nakasulod sa arka ug naluwas sa tubig. 21 Kini nga tubig mao ang panig-ingnan sa pagbautismo kanato. Ug kini nga bautismo mao ang nagaluwas kanato pinaagi sa pagkabanhaw ni Jesu-Cristo. Dili kini paghugas sa mga hugaw sa atong lawas, kondili nagasaad kita sa Dios nga dili na kita magbuhat sa mga butang nga atong nasayran nga dili niya gusto. 22 Si Jesu-Cristo atua na karon sa langit, sa tuo sa Dios,[c] ug gipasakop kaniya ang tanang mga anghel ug ang tanang mga espiritu nga may gahom.

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.

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.
1 Peter 3
New Century Version
Wives and Husbands
3 In the same way, you wives should yield to your husbands. Then, if some husbands do not obey God’s teaching, they will be persuaded to believe without anyone’s saying a word to them. They will be persuaded by the way their wives live. 2 Your husbands will see the pure lives you live with your respect for God. 3 It is not fancy hair, gold jewelry, or fine clothes that should make you beautiful. 4 No, your beauty should come from within you—the beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit that will never be destroyed and is very precious to God. 5 In this same way the holy women who lived long ago and followed God made themselves beautiful, yielding to their own husbands. 6 Sarah obeyed Abraham, her husband, and called him her master. And you women are true children of Sarah if you always do what is right and are not afraid.
7 In the same way, you husbands should live with your wives in an understanding way, since they are weaker than you. But show them respect, because God gives them the same blessing he gives you—the grace that gives true life. Do this so that nothing will stop your prayers.
Suffering for Doing Right
8 Finally, all of you should be in agreement, understanding each other, loving each other as family, being kind and humble. 9 Do not do wrong to repay a wrong, and do not insult to repay an insult. But repay with a blessing, because you yourselves were called to do this so that you might receive a blessing. 10 The Scripture says,
“A person must do these things
to enjoy life and have many happy days.
He must not say evil things,
and he must not tell lies.
11 He must stop doing evil and do good.
He must look for peace and work for it.
12 The Lord sees the good people
and listens to their prayers.
But the Lord is against
those who do evil.” Psalm 34:12–16
13 If you are trying hard to do good, no one can really hurt you. 14 But even if you suffer for doing right, you are blessed.
“Don’t be afraid of what they fear;
do not dread those things.” Isaiah 8:12–13
15 But respect Christ as the holy Lord in your hearts. Always be ready to answer everyone who asks you to explain about the hope you have, 16 but answer in a gentle way and with respect. Keep a clear conscience so that those who speak evil of your good life in Christ will be made ashamed. 17 It is better to suffer for doing good than for doing wrong if that is what God wants. 18 Christ himself suffered for sins once. He was not guilty, but he suffered for those who are guilty to bring you to God. His body was killed, but he was made alive in the spirit. 19 And in the spirit he went and preached to the spirits in prison 20 who refused to obey God long ago in the time of Noah. God was waiting patiently for them while Noah was building the boat. Only a few people—eight in all—were saved by water. 21 And that water is like baptism that now saves you—not the washing of dirt from the body, but the promise made to God from a good conscience. And this is because Jesus Christ was raised from the dead. 22 Now Jesus has gone into heaven and is at God’s right side ruling over angels, authorities, and powers.
