1 Peter 3
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)

English Standard Version
Wives and Husbands
3 Likewise, wives, (A)be subject to your own husbands, so that (B)even if some do not obey the word, (C)they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, 2 when they see your (D)respectful and pure conduct. 3 (E)Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— 4 but let your adorning be (F)the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious. 5 For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands, 6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, (G)calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and (H)do not fear anything that is frightening.
7 Likewise, (I)husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker (J)vessel, since they are heirs with you[a] of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.
Suffering for Righteousness' Sake
8 Finally, all of you, (K)have unity of mind, sympathy, (L)brotherly love, (M)a tender heart, and (N)a humble mind. 9 (O)Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, (P)bless, for (Q)to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing. 10 For
(R)“Whoever desires to love life
and see good days,
let him keep his tongue from evil
and his lips from speaking deceit;
11 let him turn away from evil and do good;
let him seek peace and pursue it.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are open to their prayer.
But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
13 Now (S)who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good? 14 (T)But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. (U)Have no fear of them, (V)nor be troubled, 15 but (W)in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, (X)always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and (Y)respect, 16 (Z)having a good conscience, so that, (AA)when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. 17 For (AB)it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil.
18 For Christ also (AC)suffered[b] (AD)once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, (AE)that he might bring us to God, being put to death (AF)in the flesh but made alive (AG)in the spirit, 19 in which[c] he went and (AH)proclaimed[d] to the spirits in prison, 20 because[e] they formerly did not obey, (AI)when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, (AJ)while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, (AK)eight persons, were brought safely through water. 21 Baptism, which corresponds to this, (AL)now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but (AM)as an appeal to God for a good conscience, (AN)through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who has gone into heaven and (AO)is at the right hand of God, (AP)with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him.

Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
3 Gayon din naman, kayong mga asawang babae, pasakop kayo sa inyong sarisariling asawa; upang, kung ang ilan ay hindi tumalima sa salita, ay mangahikayat ng walang salita sa pamamagitan ng ugali ng kanikaniyang asawang babae;
2 Sa pagkamasid nila ng inyong ugaling mahinhin na may takot.
3 Na huwag sa labas ang kanilang paggayak na gaya ng pagpapahiyas ng buhok, at pagsusuot ng mga hiyas na ginto, o pagbibihis ng maringal na damit;
4 Kundi ang pagkataong natatago sa puso na may damit na walang kasiraan ng espiritung maamo at payapa, na may malaking halaga sa paningin ng Dios.
5 Sapagka't nang unang panahon, ay ganito naman nagsigayak ang mga babaing banal na nagsiasa sa Dios, na pasakop sa kanikaniyang asawa;
6 Na gaya ni Sara na tumalima kay Abraham, na kaniyang tinawag na panginoon: na kayo ang mga anak niya ngayon, kung nagsisigawa kayo ng mabuti, at di kayo nangatatakot sa anomang kasindakan.
7 Gayon din naman kayong mga lalake, magsipamahay kayong kasama ng inyo-inyong asawa ayon sa pagkakilala, na pakundanganan ang babae, na gaya ng marupok na sisidlan, yamang kayo nama'y kasamang tagapagmana ng biyaya ng kabuhayan: upang ang inyong mga panalangin ay huwag mapigilan.
8 Katapustapusan, kayong lahat ay mangagkaisang akala, madamayin, mangagibigang tulad sa magkakapatid, mga mahabagin, mga mapagkumbabang pagiisip:
9 Na huwag ninyong gantihin ng masama ang masama, o ng alipusta ang pagalipusta; kundi ng pagpapala; sapagka't dahil dito kayo'y tinawag, upang kayo'y mangagmana ng pagpapala.
10 Sapagka't, Ang magnais umibig sa buhay, At makakita ng mabubuting araw, Ay magpigil ng kaniyang dila sa masama, At ang kaniyang mga labi ay huwag magsalita ng daya:
11 At tumalikod siya sa masama, at gumawa ng mabuti; Hanapin ang kapayapaan, at kaniyang sundan.
12 Sapagka't ang mga mata ng Panginoon ay nasa mga matuwid, At ang kaniyang mga pakinig ay sa kanilang mga daing: Nguni't ang mukha ng Panginoon ay laban sa mga nagsisigawa ng masama.
13 At sino ang sa inyo ay aapi, kung kayo'y mapagmalasakit sa mabuti?
14 Datapuwa't kung mangagbata kayo ng dahil sa katuwiran ay mapapalad kayo: at huwag kayong mangatakot sa kanilang pangtakot, o huwag kayong mangagulo;
15 Kundi inyong ariing banal si Cristo na Panginoon sa inyong mga puso: na lagi kayong handa ng pagsagot sa bawa't tao na humihingi sa inyo ng katuwiran tungkol sa pagasang nasa inyo, nguni't sa kaamuan at takot:
16 Na taglay ang mabuting budhi; upang, sa mga bagay na salitain laban sa inyo, ay mangapahiya ang nagsisialipusta sa inyong mabuting paraan ng pamumuhay kay Cristo.
17 Sapagka't lalong magaling, kung gayon ang iniibig ng kalooban ng Dios na kayo'y mangagbata dahil sa paggawa ng mabuti kay sa dahil sa paggawa ng masama.
18 Sapagka't si Cristo man ay nagbata ring minsan dahil sa mga kasalanan, ang matuwid dahil sa mga di matuwid, upang tayo'y madala niya sa Dios; siyang pinatay sa laman, nguni't binuhay sa espiritu;
19 Na iyan din ang kaniyang iniyaon at nangaral sa mga espiritung nasa bilangguan,
20 Na nang unang panahon ay mga suwail, na ang pagpapahinuhod ng Dios, ay nanatili noong mga araw ni Noe, samantalang inihahanda ang daong, na sa loob nito'y kakaunti, sa makatuwid ay walong kaluluwa, ang nangaligtas sa pamamagitan ng tubig:
21 Na ayon sa tunay na kahawig ngayo'y nagligtas, sa makatuwid baga'y ang bautismo, hindi sa pagaalis ng karumihan ng laman, kundi sa paghiling ng isang mabuting budhi sa Dios, sa pamamagitan ng pagkabuhay na maguli ni Jesucristo;
22 Na nasa kanan ng Dios, pagkaakyat niya sa langit; na ipinasakop sa kaniya ang mga anghel at ang mga kapamahalaan ang mga kapangyarihan.
