1 Peter 3
New International Version
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)

Esposas e maridos
3 Quanto às esposas, aceitem a autoridade dos seus maridos. Porque se alguns recusarem ouvir a palavra do Senhor, serão ganhos pelo comportamento digno das suas mulheres, ainda que sem palavras, 2 considerando a vossa conduta pura e reverente.
3 Não estejam preocupadas quanto à beleza exterior que consiste no arranjo dos cabelos, nas modas de vestuário ou no ouro. 4 Que a vossa beleza seja sobretudo interior, feita do encanto permanente de um carácter terno e sossegado, o que é precioso diante de Deus. 5 Esse era o tipo de beleza das santas mulheres que confiavam em Deus e que eram submissas aos seus maridos. 6 Sara, por exemplo, sujeitava-se a Abraão, respeitando-o como chefe da casa. Se fizerem o mesmo, estão a ser verdadeiramente suas filhas, e não terão de temer nenhuma intimidação.
7 Vocês, maridos, devem tratar as vossas mulheres igualmente com consideração e respeito, tendo em conta a sua condição feminina. Lembrem-se que partilharão com elas o privilégio da vida eterna. Caso contrário, as vossas orações não serão eficazes.
8 Finalmente, sejam todos unânimes, tendo os mesmos sentimentos, fraternos, cheios de compaixão e de humildade. 9 Não paguem o mal com o mal, nem a injúria com a injúria. Pelo contrário, peçam que Deus abençoe esses que vos ferem, pois fomos chamados a sermos bons para os outros, e Deus nos abençoará com o que nos prometeu.
10 “Se alguém ama a vida
e pretende ter muitos anos para ser feliz,
então evite dizer más palavras,
e que se guarde da mentira;
11 que se afaste do mal, que pratique o bem,
que procure a paz e que seja constante nesse caminho.
12 Porque os olhos do Senhor estão sempre a vigiar
para proteger a vida dos que se conduzem com justiça;
os seus ouvidos estão atentos quando chamam por ele.
Mas o Senhor vira a sua cara aos que praticam o mal.”[a]
Fazendo o bem, ainda que sofrendo
13 Que mal vos poderá ser feito, se forem zelosos na prática do bem? 14 Mesmo que sofram por causa da justiça, isso tornar-vos-á felizes. Portanto não tenham medo desses tais, nem se perturbem. 15 Deixem Cristo ser o Senhor exclusivo dos vossos corações. E se alguém vos perguntar a razão da vossa esperança, estejam sempre preparados para responder, 16 com delicadeza e respeito. Tenham uma boa consciência. Se os homens falarem mal de vocês, virão eles próprios a ficar envergonhados por vos terem acusado falsamente, ao verificarem a vossa boa conduta em Cristo. 17 Lembrem-se que, se Deus quiser que sofram, é melhor sofrer fazendo o bem do que fazendo o mal.
18 Cristo também sofreu. Ele morreu uma vez pelos pecados, o justo pelos pecadores, para levar-nos a Deus. Foi morto fisicamente e tornou a viver pelo Espírito.
19 E foi no Espírito que visitou e pregou aos espíritos em prisão, 20 daqueles que já antes recusaram obedecer a Deus, apesar da paciência com que Deus esperava, enquanto Noé construía a arca, na qual apenas oito pessoas se salvaram da morte no dilúvio. 21 Isto é uma figura do batismo que agora vos salva pelo poder da ressurreição de Jesus Cristo. Não se trata de uma lavagem física do corpo pela água, mas sim voltarmo-nos para Deus, pedindo-lhe que limpe as nossas consciências do pecado.
22 Portanto, agora Cristo está sentado no céu, no lugar de honra à direita de Deus, onde todos os anjos, autoridades e poderes celestiais lhe estão sujeitos.

1 Peter 3
King James Version
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.
