the word be won by the conversation of the wives；
3：2这是因为看见你们有贞洁的品行，和敬畏的心。
While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear。
3：3你们不要以外面的辫头发，戴金饰，穿美衣，为妆饰，
Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair； and of wearing of gold； or of putting on of apparel；
3：4只要以里面存着长久温柔安静的心为妆饰。这在神面前是极宝贵的。
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。
3：5因为古时仰赖神的圣洁妇人，正是以此为妆饰，顺服自己的丈夫。
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：
3：6就如撒拉听从亚伯拉罕，称他为主。你们若行善，不因恐吓而害怕，便是撒拉的女儿了。
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。
3：7你们作丈夫的，也要按情理和妻子同住（情理原文作知识）。因他比你软弱（比你软弱原文是软弱的器皿），与你一同承受生命之恩的，所以要敬重他。这样便叫你们的祷告没有阻碍。
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。
3：8总而言之，你们都要同心，彼此体恤，相爱如弟兄，存慈怜谦卑的心。
Finally； be ye all of one mind； having passion one of another； love as brethren； be pitiful； be courteous：
3：9不要以恶报恶，以辱骂还辱骂，倒要祝福。因你们是为此蒙召，好叫你们承受福气。
Not rendering evil for evil； or railing for railing： but contrariwise blessing； knowing that ye are thereunto called； that ye should inherit a blessing。
3：10因为经上说，人若爱生命，愿享美福，须要禁止舌头不出恶言，嘴唇不说诡诈的话。
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：
3：11也要离恶行善。寻求和睦，一心追赶。
Let him eschew evil； and do good； let him seek peace； and ensue it。
3：12因为主的眼看顾义人，主的耳听他们的祈祷。惟有行恶的人，主向他们变脸。
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。
3：13你们若是热心行善，有谁害你们呢。
And who is he that will harm you； if ye be followers of that which is good？
3：14你们就是为义受苦，也是有福的。不要怕人的威吓，也不要惊慌（的威吓或作所怕的）。
But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake； happy are ye： and be not afraid of their terror； neither be troubled；
3：15只要心里尊主基督为圣。有人问你们心中盼望的缘由，就要常作准备，以温柔敬畏的心回答各人。
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：
3：16存着无亏的良心，叫你们在何事上被毁谤，就在何事上，可以叫那诬赖你们在基督里有好品行的人，自觉羞愧。
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。
3：17神的旨意若叫你们因行善受苦，总强如因行恶受苦。
For it is better； if the will of God be so； that ye suffer for well doing； than for evil doing。
3：18因基督也曾一次为罪受苦（受苦有古卷作受死），就是义的代替不义的，为要引我们到神面前。按着肉体说他被治死。按着灵性说他复活了。
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：
3：19他藉这灵，曾去传道给那些在监狱里的灵听。
By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison；
3：20就是那从前在挪亚豫备方舟，神容忍等待的时候，不信从的人。当时进入方舟，藉着水得救的不多，只有八个人。
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。
3：21这水所表明的洗礼，现在藉着耶稣基督复活。也拯救你们。这洗礼本不在乎除掉肉体的污秽，只求在神面前有无亏的良心。
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：
3：22耶稣已经进入天堂，在神的右边。众天使和有权炳的，并有能力的，都服从了他。
Who is gone into heaven； and is on the right hand of God； angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him。
新约 彼得前书（1Peter） 第 4 章 （ 本篇共有 5 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
4：1基督既在肉身受苦，你们也当将这样的心志作为兵器。因为在肉身受过苦的，就已经与罪断绝了。
Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh； arm yourselves likewise with the same mind： for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin；
4：2你们存这样的心，从今以后，就可以不从人的情欲，只从神的旨意，在世度馀下的光阴。
That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men； but to the will of God。
4：3因为往日随从外邦人的心意，行邪淫，恶欲，醉酒，荒宴，群饮，并可恶拜偶像的事，时候已经够了。
For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles； when we walked in lasciviousness； lusts； excess of wine； revellings； banquetings； and abominable idolatries：
4：4他们在这些事上，见你们不与他们同奔那放荡无度的路，就以为怪毁谤你们。
Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot； speaking evil of you：
4：5他们必在那将要审判活人死人的主面前交账。
Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead。
4：6为此，就是死人也曾有福音传给他们，要叫他们的肉体按着人受审判，他们的灵性却靠神活着。
For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead； that they might be judged according to men in the flesh； but live according to God in the spirit。
4：7万物的结局近了。所以你们要谨慎自守，儆醒祷告。
But the end of all things is at hand： be ye therefore sober； and watch unto prayer。
4：8最要紧的是彼此切实相爱。因为爱能遮掩许多的罪。
And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves： for charity shall cover the multitude of sins。
4：9你们要互相款待，不发怨言。
Use hospitality one to another without grudging。
4：10各人要照所得的恩赐彼此服事，作神百般恩赐的好管家。
As every man hath received the gift； even so minister the same one to another； as good stewards of the manifold grace of God。
4：11若有讲道的，要按着神的圣言讲。若有服事人的，要按着神所赐的力量服事。叫神在凡事上因耶稣基督得荣耀。原来荣耀权能都是他的，直到永永远远。阿们。
If any man speak； let him speak as the oracles of God； if any man minister； let him do it as of the ability which God giveth： that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ； to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever。 Amen。
4：12亲爱的弟兄阿，有火炼的试验临到你们，不要以为奇怪，（似乎是遭遇非常的事）
Beloved； think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you； as though some strange thing happened unto you：
4：13倒要欢喜。因为你们是与基督一同受苦，使你们在他荣耀显现的时候，也可以欢喜快乐。
But rejoice； inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings； that； when his glory shall be revealed； ye may be glad also with exceeding joy。
4：14你们若为基督的名受辱骂，便是有福的。因为神荣耀的灵，常住在你们身上。
If ye be reproached for the name of Christ； happy are ye； for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you： on their part he is evil spoken of； but on your part he is glorified。
4：15你们中间却不可有人，因为杀人，偷窃，作恶，好管闲事而受苦。
But let none of you suffer as a murderer； or as a thief； or as an evildoer； or as a busybody in other men's matters。
4：16若为作基督徒受苦，却不要羞耻。倒要因这名归荣耀给神。
Yet if any man suffer as a Christian； let him not be ashamed； but let him glorify God on this behalf。
4：17因为时候到了，审判要从神的家起首。若是先从我们起首，那不信从神福音的人，将有何等的结局呢。
For the time is e that judgment must begin at the house of God： and if it first begin at us； what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God？
4：18若是义人仅仅得救，那不虔敬和犯罪的人，将有何地可站呢。
And if the righteous scarcely be saved； where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear？
4：19所以那照神旨意受苦的人，要一心为善，将自己灵魂交与那信实的造化之主。
Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God mit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing； as unto a faithful Creator。

5：1我这作长老，作基督受苦的见证，同享后来所要显现之荣耀的，劝你们中间与我同作长老的人。
The elders which are among you I exhort； who am also an elder； and a witness of the sufferings of Christ； and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed：
5：2务要牧养在你们中间神的群羊，按着神旨意照管他们。不是出于勉强，乃是出于甘心。也不是因为贪财，乃是出于乐意。
Feed the flock of God which is among you； taking the oversight thereof； not by constraint； but willingly； not for filthy lucre； but of a ready mind；
5：3也不是辖制所托付你们的，乃是作群羊的榜样。
Neither as being lords over God's heritage； but being ensamples to the flock。
5：4到了牧长显现的时候，你们必得那永不衰残的荣耀冠冕。
And when the chief Shepherd shall appear； ye shall receive
