彼前03
彼得前書第3章
妻子和丈夫
1你們作妻子的要順服自己的丈夫；這樣，若有不信從道理的丈夫，他們雖然不聽道，也可以因妻子的品行被感化過來；
2這正是因看見你們有貞潔的品行和敬畏的心。
3你們不要以外面的辮頭髮，戴金飾，穿美衣為妝飾，
4只要以裡面存著長久溫柔、安靜的心為妝飾；這在 神面前是極寶貴的。

5因為古時仰賴 神的聖潔婦人正是以此為妝飾，順服自己的丈夫，
6就如撒拉聽從亞伯拉罕，稱他為主。你們若行善，不因恐嚇而害怕，便是撒拉的女兒了。

7你們作丈夫的也要按情理（原文是知識）和妻子同住；因她比你軟弱（比你軟弱：原文作是軟弱的器皿），與你一同承受生命之恩的，所以要敬重她。這樣，便叫你們的禱告沒有阻礙。
為義受苦
8總而言之，你們都要同心，彼此體恤，相愛如弟兄，存慈憐謙卑的心。
9不以惡報惡，以辱罵還辱罵，倒要祝福；因你們是為此蒙召，好叫你們承受福氣。
10因為經上說：人若愛生命，願享美福，須要禁止舌頭不出惡言，嘴唇不說詭詐的話；
11也要離惡行善，尋求和睦，一心追趕。
12因為，主的眼看顧義人；主的耳聽他們的祈禱。惟有行惡的人，主向他們變臉。
13你們若是熱心行善，有誰害你們呢？
14你們就是為義受苦，也是有福的。不要怕人的威嚇（的威嚇：或譯所怕的），也不要驚慌；
15只要心裡尊主基督為聖。有人問你們心中盼望的緣由，就要常作準備，以溫柔、敬畏的心回答各人；

16存著無虧的良心，叫你們在何事上被毀謗，就在何事上可以叫那誣賴你們在基督裡有好品行的人自覺羞愧。
17 神的旨意若是叫你們因行善受苦，總強如因行惡受苦。
18因基督也曾一次為罪受苦（有古卷：受死），就是義的代替不義的，為要引我們到 神面前。按著肉體說，他被治死；按著靈性說，他復活了。
19他藉這靈曾去傳道給那些在監獄裡的靈聽，

21這水所表明的洗禮，現在藉著耶穌基督復活也拯救你們；這洗禮本不在乎除掉肉體的污穢，只求在 神面前有無虧的良心。
22耶穌已經進入天堂，在 神的右邊；眾天使和有權柄的，並有能力的，都服從了他。
