Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1In 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.
1ομοιωσ αι γυναικεσ υποτασσομεναι τοισ ιδιοισ ανδρασιν ινα και ει τινεσ απειθουσιν τω λογω δια τησ των γυναικων αναστροφησ ανευ λογου κερδηθησονται
2Considering your chaste conversation with fear.
2εποπτευσαντεσ την εν φοβω αγνην αναστροφην υμων
3Whose adorning let it not be the outward plaiting of the hair, or the wearing of gold, or the putting on of apparel:
3ων εστω ουχ ο εξωθεν εμπλοκησ τριχων και περιθεσεωσ χρυσιων η ενδυσεωσ ιματιων κοσμοσ
4But the hidden man of the heart in the incorruptibility of a quiet and a meek spirit, which is rich in the sight of God.
4αλλ ο κρυπτοσ τησ καρδιασ ανθρωποσ εν τω αφθαρτω του πραεοσ και ησυχιου πνευματοσ ο εστιν ενωπιον του θεου πολυτελεσ
5For after this manner heretofore the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
5ουτωσ γαρ ποτε και αι αγιαι γυναικεσ αι ελπιζουσαι επι θεον εκοσμουν εαυτασ υποτασσομεναι τοισ ιδιοισ ανδρασιν
6As Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters you are, doing well, and not fearing any disturbance.
6ωσ σαρρα υπηκουσεν τω αβρααμ κυριον αυτον καλουσα ησ εγενηθητε τεκνα αγαθοποιουσαι και μη φοβουμεναι μηδεμιαν πτοησιν
7Ye 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.
7οι ανδρεσ ομοιωσ συνοικουντεσ κατα γνωσιν ωσ ασθενεστερω σκευει τω γυναικειω απονεμοντεσ τιμην ωσ και συγκληρονομοι χαριτοσ ζωησ εισ το μη εγκοπτεσθαι τασ προσευχασ υμων
8And in fine, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, being lovers of the brotherhood, merciful, modest, humble:
8το δε τελοσ παντεσ ομοφρονεσ συμπαθεισ φιλαδελφοι ευσπλαγχνοι φιλοφρονεσ
9Not rendering evil for evil, nor railing for railing, but contrariwise, blessing: for unto this are you called, that you may inherit a blessing.
9μη αποδιδοντεσ κακον αντι κακου η λοιδοριαν αντι λοιδοριασ τουναντιον δε ευλογουντεσ ειδοτεσ οτι εισ τουτο εκληθητε ινα ευλογιαν κληρονομησητε
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.
10ο γαρ θελων ζωην αγαπαν και ιδειν ημερασ αγαθασ παυσατω την γλωσσαν αυτου απο κακου και χειλη αυτου του μη λαλησαι δολον
11Let him decline from evil, and do good: let him seek after peace and pursue it:
11εκκλινατω απο κακου και ποιησατω αγαθον ζητησατω ειρηνην και διωξατω αυτην
12Because 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.
12οτι οφθαλμοι κυριου επι δικαιουσ και ωτα αυτου εισ δεησιν αυτων προσωπον δε κυριου επι ποιουντασ κακα
13And who is he that can hurt you, if you be zealous of good?
13και τισ ο κακωσων υμασ εαν του αγαθου μιμηται γενησθε
14But if also you suffer any thing for justice’ sake, blessed are ye. And be not afraid of their fear, and be not troubled.
14αλλ ει και πασχοιτε δια δικαιοσυνην μακαριοι τον δε φοβον αυτων μη φοβηθητε μηδε ταραχθητε
15But 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.
15κυριον δε τον θεον αγιασατε εν ταισ καρδιαισ υμων ετοιμοι δε αει προσ απολογιαν παντι τω αιτουντι υμασ λογον περι τησ εν υμιν ελπιδοσ μετα πραυτητοσ και φοβου
16But 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.
16συνειδησιν εχοντεσ αγαθην ινα εν ω καταλαλουσιν υμων ωσ κακοποιων καταισχυνθωσιν οι επηρεαζοντεσ υμων την αγαθην εν χριστω αναστροφην
17For it is better doing well (if such be the will of God) to suffer, than doing ill.
17κρειττον γαρ αγαθοποιουντασ ει θελοι το θελημα του θεου πασχειν η κακοποιουντασ
18Because 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,
18οτι και χριστοσ απαξ περι αμαρτιων επαθεν δικαιοσ υπερ αδικων ινα υμασ προσαγαγη τω θεω θανατωθεισ μεν σαρκι ζωοποιηθεισ δε πνευματι
19In which also coming he preached to those spirits that were in prison:
19εν ω και τοισ εν φυλακη πνευμασιν πορευθεισ εκηρυξεν
20Which 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.
20απειθησασιν ποτε οτε απεξεδεχετο η του θεου μακροθυμια εν ημεραισ νωε κατασκευαζομενησ κιβωτου εισ ην ολιγαι τουτ εστιν οκτω ψυχαι διεσωθησαν δι υδατοσ
21Whereunto 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.
21ο αντιτυπον νυν και ημασ σωζει βαπτισμα ου σαρκοσ αποθεσισ ρυπου αλλα συνειδησεωσ αγαθησ επερωτημα εισ θεον δι αναστασεωσ ιησου χριστου
22Who 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.
22οσ εστιν εν δεξια του θεου πορευθεισ εισ ουρανον υποταγεντων αυτω αγγελων και εξουσιων και δυναμεων
