DRC, KJV, VulgClementine - I Peter - 3

3:1  In like manner also, let wives be subject to their husbands: that, if any believe not the word, they may be won without the word, by the conversation of the wives,

3:1  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;

3:1  Similiter et mulieres subditæ sint viris suis : ut etsi qui non credunt verbo, per mulierem conversationem sine verbo lucrifiant :

3:2  Considering your chaste conversation with fear.

3:2  While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.

3:2  considerantes in timore castam conversationem vestram.

3:3  Whose adorning, let it not be the outward plaiting of the hair, or the wearing of gold, or the putting on of apparel:

3:3  Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

3:3  Quarum non sit extrinsecus capillatura, aut circumdatio auri, aut indumenti vestimentorum cultus :

3:4  But the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptibility of a quiet and a meek spirit which is rich in the sight of God.

3:4  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.

3:4  sed qui absconditus est cordis homo, in incorruptibilitate quieti, et modesti spiritus, qui est in conspectu Dei locuples.

3:5  For after this manner heretofore, the holy women also who trusted in God adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:

3:5  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:

3:5  Sic enim aliquando et sanctæ mulieres, sperantes in Deo, ornabant se, subjectæ propriis viris.

3:6  As Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters you are, doing well and not fearing any disturbance.

3:6  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.

3:6  Sicut Sara obediebat Abrahæ, dominum eum vocans : cujus estis filiæ benefacientes, et non pertimentes ullam perturbationem.

3:7  Ye husbands, likewise dwelling with them according to knowledge, giving honour to the female as to the weaker vessel and as to the co-heirs of the grace of life: that your prayers be not hindered.

3:7  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.

3:7  Viri similiter cohabitantes secundum scientiam, quasi infirmiori vasculo muliebri impartientes honorem, tamquam et cohæredibus gratiæ vitæ : ut non impediantur orationes vestræ.

3:8  And in fine, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, being lovers of the brotherhood, merciful, modest, humble:

3:8  Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:

3:8  In fine autem omnes unanimes, compatientes fraternitatis amatores, misericordes, modesti, humiles :

3:9  Not rendering evil for evil, nor railing for railing, but contrariwise, blessing: for unto this are you called, that you may inherit a blessing.

3:9  Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.

3:9  non reddentes malum pro malo, nec maledictum pro maledicto, sed e contrario benedicentes : quia in hoc vocati estis, ut benedictionem hæreditate possideatis.

3:10  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.

3:10  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:

3:10  Qui enim vult vitam diligere, et dies videre bonos, coërceat linguam suam a malo, et labia ejus ne loquantur dolum.

3:11  Let him decline from evil and do good: Let him seek after peace and pursue it:

3:11  Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.

3:11  Declinet a malo, et faciat bonum : inquirat pacem, et sequatur eam :

3:12  Because the eyes of the Lord are upon the just, and his ears unto their prayers but the countenance of the Lord upon them that do evil things.

3:12  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.

3:12  quia oculi Domini super justos, et aures ejus in preces eorum : vultus autem Domini super facientes mala.

3:13  And who is he that can hurt you, if you be zealous of good?

3:13  And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?

3:13  Et quis est qui vobis noceat, si boni æmulatores fueritis ?

3:14  But if also you suffer any thing for justice' sake, blessed are ye. And be not afraid of their fear: and be not troubled.

3:14  But and if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;

3:14  Sed et si quid patimini propter justitiam, beati. Timorem autem eorum ne timueritis, et non conturbemini.

3:15  But sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts, being ready always to satisfy every one that asketh you a reason of that hope which is in you.

3:15  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:

3:15  Dominum autem Christum sanctificate in cordibus vestris, parati semper ad satisfactionem omni poscenti vos rationem de ea, quæ in vobis est, spe.

3:16  But with modesty and fear, having a good conscience: that whereas they speak evil of you, they may be ashamed who falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

3:16  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.

3:16  Sed cum modestia, et timore, conscientiam habentes bonam : ut in eo, quod detrahunt vobis, confundantur, qui calumniantur vestram bonam in Christo conversationem.

3:17  For it is better doing well (if such be the will of God) to suffer than doing ill.

3:17  For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.

3:17  Melius est enim benefacientes (si voluntas Dei velit) pati, quam malefacientes.

3:18  Because Christ also died once for our sins, the just for the unjust: that he might offer us to God, being put to death indeed in the flesh, but enlivened in the spirit,

3:18  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:

3:18  Quia et Christus semel pro peccatis nostris mortuus est, justus pro injustis, ut nos offerret Deo, mortificatus quidem carne, vivificatus autem spiritu.

3:19  In which also coming he preached to those spirits that were in prison:

3:19  By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;

3:19  In quo et his, qui in carcere erant, spiritibus veniens prædicavit :

3:20  Which had been some time incredulous, when they waited for the patience of God in the days of Noe, when the ark was a building: wherein a few, that is, eight souls, were saved by water.

3:20  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.

3:20  qui increduli fuerant aliquando, quando exspectabant Dei patientiam in diebus Noë, cum fabricaretur arca : in qua pauci, id est octo animæ, salvæ factæ sunt per aquam.

3:21  Whereunto baptism, being of the like form, now saveth you also: not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but, the examination of a good conscience towards God by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

3:21  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:

3:21  Quod et vos nunc similis formæ salvos fecit baptisma : non carnis depositio sordium, sed conscientiæ bonæ interrogatio in Deum per resurrectionem Jesu Christi.

3:22  Who is on the right hand of God, swallowing down death that we might be made heirs of life everlasting: being gone into heaven, the angels and powers and virtues being made subject to him.

3:22  Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

3:22  Qui est in dextera Dei, deglutiens mortem ut vitæ æternæ hæredes efficeremur : profectus in cælum subjectis sibi angelis, et potestatibus, et virtutibus.
