1Likewise, 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;
2ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϫⲓⲛⲙⲟϣⲓ ⲉⲧⲧⲟⲩⲃⲏⲟⲩⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲟϯ.
2While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.

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

4But 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.
5ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓϩⲓ⳿ⲟⲙⲓ ⲉⲑⲟⲩⲁⲃ ⲛⲁⲩⲉⲣϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⳿ⲉⲫϯ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲩⲥⲟⲗⲥⲉⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲩϭⲛⲟ ⳿ⲛϫⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩϩⲁⲓ.
5For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:
6⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁⲣⲣⲁ ⲉⲥⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲁⲃⲣⲁⲁⲙ ⲉⲥⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁ⳪ ⲑⲏ ⲉⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣϣⲉⲣⲓ ⲛⲁⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲡⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣϩⲟϯ ⲁⲛ ϧⲁ⳿ⲧϩⲏ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲟϯ.
6Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.

7Likewise, 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.
8⳿ⲡϫⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛϭⲓϧⲓⲥⲓ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲓⲥⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛϣⲁⲛ⳿ⲑⲙⲁϧⲧ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲑⲉⲃⲓⲏ ⲟⲩⲧ.
8Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
9⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϯ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲡⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ϧⲁ ⲟⲩⲡⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲱⲟⲩϣ ϧⲁ ⲟⲩϩⲱⲟⲩϣ ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲃⲏϥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲑⲁϩⲉⲙ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲡⲁⲓϩⲱⲃ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣ⳿ⲕⲗⲏ ⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲩ.
9Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.

10For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
11ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲣⲓⲕⲓ ⲥⲁⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲡⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲁⲅⲁⲑⲟⲛ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲟⲩϩⲓⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϭⲟϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲥ.
11Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.

12For 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.
13ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲑⲛⲁ⳿ϣϯ⳿ⲙⲕⲁϩ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϣⲁⲛⲉⲣⲣⲉϥⲭⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲡⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉϥ.
13And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?

14But and if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are ye : and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
15Ⲡ⳪ ⲇⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲙⲁⲧⲟⲩⲃⲟϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲟⲃϯ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲥⲏ ⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲩⲁⲡⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲉⲣⲉⲧⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ϯϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ.
15But 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:
16ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲣⲉⲙⲣⲁⲩϣ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩϩⲟϯ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲇⲉⲥⲓⲥ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲉⲥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩϭⲓϣⲓⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲥⲁϫⲓ ϧⲁⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲥⲁⲙⲡⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧϭⲓⲁⲟⲩⲱ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϫⲓⲛⲙⲟϣⲓ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉϥ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
16Having 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.

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

18For 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:

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

20Which 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.

21The 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:

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