So also you wives, be subject to your husbands, so that those who do not obey the word may be won without labor by your good conduct,

when they see that you conduct yourselves with reverence and modesty.

And do not adorn yourselves with the outward adornment of braids of your hair or of gold ornaments or of fine clothing.

But adorn yourselves in the hidden person of the heart with a meek and uncorrupted spirit, an adornment that is precious before Elohim.

For so also the holy women of old who hoped in Elohim adorned themselves and were subject to their husbands,

just as Sarah was subject to Avraham and called him my master: whose daughters you are by good works, while you are not terrified by any fear.

And you husbands, likewise dwell with your wives in knowledge, and hold them in honor as the weaker vessel, because they also inherit with you the gift of life forever, so that you will not be hindered in your prayers.

Now the summing up is that you all be in harmony, and be sympathetic with those who suffer, and affectionate one to another, and be merciful and humble.

And do not repay anyone evil for evil, nor insult for insult, but opposite to these be blessing, for to this you were called, that you may inherit a blessing.

Therefore whoever wants life and loves to see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.

Let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and run after it.

Because the eyes of Master YHWH are on the righteous, and his ears ready to hear them; but the face of Master YHWH is against the wicked.

And who will do you evil if you are zealots of the good?

And if you suffer on account of righteousness, blessed are you. And do not fear from those who frighten you, and do not be troubled.

But sanctify Master YHWH the Mashiyach in your hearts, and be ready to give an answer in the spirit to everyone who asks you a word about the hope of your faith, in meekness and in fear,

while you have a good conscience, so that those who speak against you as against bad men may be ashamed, as men who slander your good conduct that is in the Mashiyach.

For it is better for you that while you do good deeds you suffer evil, if this is the will of Elohim, and not while you do evil.

Because the Mashiyach also once died for our sins, the righteous for sinners, that he might bring you near to Elohim. And he died in body and lived in spirit.

And he proclaimed to the souls that were held in Sheol,

those who from of old were not persuaded in the days of Noah, when the long-suffering of the Ruach of Elohim commanded that an ark be made, in hope of their repentance; and eight souls only entered into it and lived in the waters.

which also you, in that same figure, are given life by immersion—not when you wash the body from filth, but when you confess Elohim with a pure conscience—and by the resurrection of Y'shua the Mashiyach,

who was taken up to heaven and is at the right hand of Elohim, and messengers and authorities and powers are subjected to him.
