1 Pedro 3
Biblia del Jubileo
3 ¶ Asimismo vosotras, mujeres, estad sujetas a vuestros maridos; para que también los que no obedecen a la Palabra, sean ganados sin palabra por la conversación de sus mujeres,
2 considerando vuestra casta conversación, que es en temor.
3 El adorno de las cuales no sea exterior con peinado ostentoso, y atavío de oro, ni en compostura de ropas;
4 sino el adorno interior del corazón sea sin corrupción, y de espíritu agradable, y pacífico, lo cual es de grande estima delante de Dios.
5 Porque así también se ataviaban en el tiempo antiguo aquellas santas mujeres que esperaban en Dios, estando sujetas a sus maridos;
6 como Sara obedecía a Abraham, llamándole señor; de la cual vosotras sois hechas hijas, haciendo bien, y no estáis espantadas de ningún pavor.
7 Vosotros maridos, igualmente, habitad con ellas sabiamente, dando honor a la mujer, como a vaso más frágil, y como a herederas juntamente de la gracia de la vida; para que vuestras oraciones no sean impedidas.
8 ¶ Y finalmente, sed todos de un consentimiento, de una afección, amándoos fraternalmente, misericordiosos, amigables;
9 no volviendo mal por mal, ni maldición por maldición, sino antes por el contrario, bendiciendo, sabiendo que vosotros sois llamados para que poseáis bendición en herencia.
10 Porque: El que quiere amar la vida, y ver los días buenos, refrene su lengua de mal, y sus labios no hablen engaño;
11 apártese del mal, y haga bien; busque la paz, y sígala.
12 Porque los ojos del Señor están sobre los justos, y sus oídos atentos a sus oraciones; pero el rostro del Señor está sobre aquellos que hacen males.
13 ¿Y quién es aquel que os podrá dañar, si vosotros seguís el bien?
14 Mas también si alguna cosa padecéis por hacer bien, sois bienaventurados. Por tanto, no temáis por el temor de ellos, ni seáis turbados;
15 sino santificad al Señor Dios en vuestros corazones, y estad siempre aparejados para responder a cada uno que os demande razón de la esperanza que está en vosotros; y esto con mansedumbre y reverencia,
16 ¶ teniendo buena conciencia, para que en lo que murmuran de vosotros como de malhechores, sean confundidos los que blasfeman vuestra buena conversación en el Cristo.
17 Porque mejor es que seáis afligidos haciendo el bien (si la voluntad de Dios así lo quiere), que haciendo el mal.
18 ¶ Porque también el Cristo padeció una vez por los pecados, el justo por los injustos, para llevarnos a Dios, siendo a la verdad muerto en la carne, pero vivificado en espíritu;
19 en el cual también fue y predicó a los espíritus encarcelados,
20 los cuales en el tiempo pasado fueron desobedientes, cuando una vez se esperaba la paciencia de Dios en los días de Noé, cuando se aparejaba el arca; en la cual pocas, es a saber, ocho personas fueron salvas por agua.
21 ¶ A la figura de la cual el bautismo que ahora corresponde nos salva (no quitando las inmundicias de la carne, mas dando testimonio de una buena conciencia delante de Dios,) por la resurrección de Jesús el Cristo,
22 el cual está a la diestra de Dios, siendo subido al cielo; a quien están sujetos los ángeles, las Potestades, y Virtudes.
1 Peter 3
Amplified Bible
Godly Living
3 In the same way, you wives, be [a]submissive to your own husbands [subordinate, not as inferior, but out of respect for the responsibilities entrusted to husbands and their accountability to God, and so partnering with them] so that even if some do not obey the word [of God], they may be won over [to Christ] without discussion by the godly lives of their wives,(A) 2 when they see your modest and respectful behavior [together with your devotion and appreciation—love your husband, encourage him, and enjoy him as a blessing from God]. 3 Your adornment must not be merely external—with interweaving and elaborate knotting of the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or [being superficially preoccupied with] dressing in expensive clothes; 4 but let it be [the inner beauty of] the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality and unfading charm of a gentle and peaceful spirit, [one that is calm and self-controlled, not overanxious, but serene and spiritually mature] which is very precious in the sight of God. 5 For in this way in former times the holy women, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves, being submissive to their own husbands and adapting themselves to them; 6 just as Sarah obeyed Abraham [following him and having regard for him as head of their house], calling him [b]lord. And you have become her daughters if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear [that is, being respectful toward your husband but not giving in to intimidation, nor allowing yourself to be led into sin, nor to be harmed].
7 In the same way, you husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way [with great gentleness and tact, and with an intelligent regard for the marriage relationship], as with [c]someone physically weaker, since she is a woman. Show her honor and respect as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered or ineffective.
8 Finally, all of you be like-minded [united in spirit], sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted [courteous and compassionate toward each other as members of one household], and humble in spirit; 9 and never return evil for evil or insult for insult [avoid scolding, berating, and any kind of abuse], but on the contrary, give a blessing [pray for one another’s well-being, contentment, and protection]; for you have been called for this very purpose, that you might inherit a blessing [from God that brings well-being, happiness, and protection]. 10 For,
“The one who wants to enjoy life and see good days [good—whether apparent or not],
Must keep his tongue free from evil and his lips from speaking guile (treachery, deceit).
11
“He must turn away from wickedness and do what is right.
He must search for peace [with God, with self, with others] and pursue it eagerly [actively—not merely desiring it].
12
“For the eyes of the Lord are [looking favorably] upon the righteous (the upright),
And His ears are attentive to their prayer (eager to answer),
But the face of the Lord is against those who practice evil.”(B)
13 Now who is there to hurt you if you become enthusiastic for what is good? 14 But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness [though it is not certain that you will], you are still blessed [happy, to be admired and favored by God]. Do not be afraid of their intimidating threats, nor be troubled or disturbed [by their opposition]. 15 But in your hearts set Christ apart [as holy—acknowledging Him, giving Him first place in your lives] as Lord. Always be ready to give a [logical] defense to anyone who asks you to account for the hope and confident assurance [elicited by faith] that is within you, yet [do it] with gentleness and respect.(C) 16 And see to it that your conscience is entirely clear, so that every time you are slandered or falsely accused, those who attack or disparage your good behavior in Christ will be shamed [by their own words]. 17 For it is better that you suffer [unjustly] for doing what is right, if that should be God’s will, than [to suffer justly] for doing wrong. 18 For indeed Christ died for sins once for all, the Just and Righteous for the unjust and unrighteous [the Innocent for the guilty] so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the Spirit; 19 in which He also went and preached to the spirits now in prison, 20 who once were disobedient, when the great patience of God was waiting in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons [Noah’s family], were brought safely through the water.(D) 21 Corresponding to that [rescue through the flood], baptism [which is an expression of a believer’s new life in Christ] now [d]saves you, not by removing dirt from the body, but by an appeal to God for a good (clear) conscience, [demonstrating what you believe to be yours] through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God [that is, the place of honor and authority], with [all] angels and authorities and powers made subservient to Him.
