Darby's Synopsis
   1: In like manner, ye wives, [be] in subjection to your won husbands; that, even if any obey not the word, they may without the word be gained by the behavior of their wives;
   2: beholding your chaste behavior [coupled] with fear.
   3: Whose [adorning] let it not be the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on apparel;
   4: but [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible [apparel] of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
   5: For after this manner aforetime the holy women also, who hoped in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
   6: as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose children ye now are, if ye do well, and are not put in fear by any terror.
   7: Ye husbands, in like manner, dwell with [your wives] according to knowledge, giving honor unto the woman, as unto the weaker vessel, as being also joint-heirs of the grace of life; to the end that your prayers be not hindered.
   8: Finally, [be] ye all likeminded, compassionate, loving as brethren, tenderhearted, humbleminded:
   9: not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but contrariwise blessing; for hereunto were ye called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
   10: For, He that would love life, And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips that they speak no guile:
   11: And let him turn away from evil, and do good; Let him seek peace, and pursue it.
   12: For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, And his ears unto their supplication: But the face of the Lord is upon them that do evil.
   13: And who is he that will harm you, if ye be zealous of that which is good?
   14: But even if ye should suffer for righteousness' sake, blessed [are ye:] and fear not their fear, neither be troubled;
   15: but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord: [being] ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear:
   16: having a good conscience; that, wherein ye are spoken against, they may be put to shame who revile your good manner of life in Christ.
   17: For it is better, if the will of God should so will, that ye suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing.
   18: Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;
   19: in which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison,
   20: that aforetime were disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water:
   21: which also after a true likeness doth now save you, [even] baptism, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the interrogation of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ;
   22: who is one the right hand of God, having gone into heaven; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
