In the same way women, being posted to their own men, so that also if some disobey the message, then through the behavior of the women they will be profited without a word, having observed your behavior purified by awe. Of whom let her be ornamented not the from the external braid of hair and a putting around of gold or a wearing of clothes but the hidden human being of the heart with the undecay of a courteous and a quietly still spirit, which is precious in front of God. Because in this way at one time also the holy women who hope into God ornamented themselves being posted to their own men, like Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him “lord,” of which woman you became children doing good and not being afraid of one single intimidating outburst at all.
The men in the same way, living together with the womankind knowledgeably as to the weaker thing, assigning value to them like also to co-heirs of the charity of life as far as the not hindering of your prayers.
Yet the goal is everyone having a unified mind, sympathetic, having affection for the brothers and sisters, deeply wanting good, humble, not repaying harm in place of harm or verbal abuse for verbal abuse, yet on the other hand blessing because for this thing you were called so that you would inherit the blessing.
“Because let the one wishing to love life and to see good days pause the tongue from harm and lips from talking deceit at all, let him turn away from harm and let him do good, let him search for peace and chase after it; because the eyes of the Lord are upon the righted and His ears into their petitions, yet the face of the Lord is upon those doing harmful things.”
And who is the person who would harm you if you should become zealots for the good? But if you should also suffer because of rightness, be happy. Yet don’t panic at the dread of them, neither should you be disturbed. Yet make the Lord sacred as the Christ with your hearts, eternally prepared towards a defense to every person who asks you a word about the hope within you, but with courtesy and awe, holding a good conscience, so that, by means of what you are spoken against, those verbally abusing your good behavior which is by means of the Christ would be ashamed. Because it is better doing good, if the will of God would be willed, to suffer than doing harm. Because the Christ also suffered once about the malfunctioning behaviors, the right on behalf of the wrong, so that He would bring you forward to God having been put to death on the one hand with the flesh and blood yet having been made alive with the Spirit; with which also having been driven He preached to those spirits in the prison having disobeyed at one time when the long temper of God eagerly waited in the days of Noah for the making ready of the box into which a few, that is eight souls, were brought safely through the water. Which also baptism delivers you now as an antitype, not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but the request of a good conscience for God through the resurrection of Yeshua the Christ, who is at the right side of God having gone into the heavenly realm with angels and authorities and powers being brought under His command.
