1 Peter 3:8
Compare all
6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, acalling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror.  

A Word to Husbands

7 aHusbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, bas to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, cthat your prayers may not be hindered.  

Called to Blessing

8 Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be1 courteous;  
9 anot returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary bblessing, knowing that you were called to this, cthat you may inherit a blessing.  
10 For
a“He who would love life
And see good days,
bLet him1 refrain his tongue from evil,
And his lips from speaking deceit. 
11 Let him aturn away from evil and do good;
bLet him seek peace and pursue it. 
12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
aAnd His ears are open to their prayers;
But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”  

Suffering for Right and Wrong

13 aAnd who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good?  
14 aBut even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. b“And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.”  
15 But1 sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always abe ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the bhope that is in you, with meekness and fear;  
16 ahaving a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.  
17 For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

Christ’s Suffering and Ours

18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring1 us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit,  
19 by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison,
20 who formerly were disobedient,1 when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.
