Deberes conyugales
3 Así mismo, esposas, someteos a vuestros esposos, de modo que, si algunos de ellos no creen en la palabra, puedan ser ganados más por vuestro comportamiento que por vuestras palabras, 2 al observar vuestra conducta íntegra y respetuosa. 3 Que vuestra belleza no sea la externa, que consiste en adornos tales como peinados ostentosos, joyas de oro y vestidos lujosos. 4 Que vuestra belleza sea más bien la incorruptible, la que procede de lo íntimo del corazón y consiste en un espíritu suave y apacible. Esta sí que tiene mucho valor delante de Dios. 5 Así se adornaban en tiempos antiguos las mujeres santas que esperaban en Dios, cada una sumisa a su esposo. 6 Tal es el caso de Sara, que obedecía a Abraham y lo llamaba su señor. Vosotras sois hijas de ella si hacéis el bien y vivís sin ningún temor.
7 De igual manera, vosotros esposos, sed comprensivos en vuestra vida conyugal, tratando cada uno a su esposa con respeto, ya que como mujer es más delicada,[a] y ambos sois herederos del grato don de la vida. Así nada estorbará vuestras oraciones.
Sufriendo por hacer el bien
8 En fin, vivid en armonía los unos con los otros; compartid penas y alegrías, practicad el amor fraternal, sed compasivos y humildes. 9 No devolváis mal por mal ni insulto por insulto; más bien, bendecid, porque para esto fuisteis llamados, para heredar una bendición. 10 En efecto,
«el que quiera amar la vida
y gozar de días felices,
que refrene su lengua de hablar el mal
y sus labios de proferir engaños;
11 que se aparte del mal y haga el bien;
que busque la paz y la siga.
12 Porque los ojos del Señor están sobre los justos,
y sus oídos, atentos a sus oraciones;
pero el rostro del Señor está en contra de los que hacen el mal».[b]
13 Y a vosotros, ¿quién os va a hacer daño si os esforzáis por hacer el bien? 14 ¡Dichosos si sufrís por causa de la justicia! «No temáis lo que ellos temen,[c] ni os dejéis asustar».[d] 15 Más bien, honrad en vuestro corazón a Cristo como Señor. Estad siempre preparados para responder a todo el que os pida razón de la esperanza que hay en vosotros. 16 Pero hacedlo con gentileza y respeto, manteniendo la conciencia limpia, para que los que hablan mal de vuestra buena conducta en Cristo se avergüencen de sus calumnias. 17 Si es la voluntad de Dios, es preferible sufrir por hacer el bien que por hacer el mal.
18 Porque Cristo murió por los pecados, una vez por todas, el justo por los injustos, a fin de llevaros a Dios. Él sufrió la muerte en su cuerpo, pero el Espíritu hizo que volviera a la vida.[e] 19 Por medio del Espíritu fue y predicó a los espíritus encarcelados, 20 que en los tiempos antiguos, en los días de Noé, desobedecieron, cuando Dios esperaba con paciencia mientras se construía el arca. En ella solo pocas personas, ocho en total, se salvaron mediante el agua, 21 la cual simboliza el bautismo que ahora os salva también a vosotros. El bautismo no consiste en la limpieza del cuerpo, sino en el compromiso de tener una buena conciencia delante de Dios. Esta salvación es posible por la resurrección de Jesucristo, 22 quien subió al cielo y ocupó su lugar a la derecha de Dios, y a quien están sometidos los ángeles, las autoridades y los poderes.
1 Peter 3
New International Version
1 Peter 3
New International Version
3 Wives, in the same way submit yourselves(A) to your own husbands(B) so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over(C) without words by the behavior of their wives, 2 when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. 3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes.(D) 4 Rather, it should be that of your inner self,(E) the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.(F) 5 For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God(G) used to adorn themselves.(H) They submitted themselves to their own husbands, 6 like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord.(I) You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.
7 Husbands,(J) in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.
Suffering for Doing Good
8 Finally, all of you, be like-minded,(K) be sympathetic, love one another,(L) be compassionate and humble.(M) 9 Do not repay evil with evil(N) or insult with insult.(O) On the contrary, repay evil with blessing,(P) because to this(Q) you were called(R) so that you may inherit a blessing.(S) 10 For,
“Whoever would love life
and see good days
must keep their tongue from evil
and their lips from deceitful speech.
11 They must turn from evil and do good;
they must seek peace and pursue it.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
and his ears are attentive to their prayer,
but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”[a](T)
13 Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good?(U) 14 But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed.(V) “Do not fear their threats[b]; do not be frightened.”[c](W) 15 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer(X) to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope(Y) that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 16 keeping a clear conscience,(Z) so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.(AA) 17 For it is better, if it is God’s will,(AB) to suffer for doing good(AC) than for doing evil. 18 For Christ also suffered once(AD) for sins,(AE) the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.(AF) He was put to death in the body(AG) but made alive in the Spirit.(AH) 19 After being made alive,[d] he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits(AI)— 20 to those who were disobedient long ago when God waited patiently(AJ) in the days of Noah while the ark was being built.(AK) In it only a few people, eight in all,(AL) were saved(AM) through water, 21 and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you(AN) also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience(AO) toward God.[e] It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,(AP) 22 who has gone into heaven(AQ) and is at God’s right hand(AR)—with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him.(AS)

King James Version
1 Peter 3
King James Version
3 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;
2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
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;
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.
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:
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.
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.
8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
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.
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:
11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
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.
13 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
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:
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.
17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
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:
19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
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.
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:
22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
