1If you are a wife, you must put your husband first. Even if he opposes our message, you will win him over by what you do. No one else will have to say anything to him,
7If you are a husband, you should be thoughtful of your wife. Treat her with honour, because she isn't as strong as you are, and she shares with you in the gift of life. Then nothing will stand in the way of your prayers.Suffering for doing right
8Finally, all of you should agree and have concern and love for each other. You should also be kind and humble.
9Don't be hateful and insult people just because they are hateful and insult you. Instead, treat everyone with kindness. You are God's chosen ones, and he will bless you. The Scriptures say,
10“Do you really love life?
Do you want to be happy?
Then stop saying cruel things
and stop telling lies.
11Give up your evil ways
and do right,
as you find and follow
the road that leads
to peace.
12The Lord watches over
everyone who obeys him,
and he listens
to their prayers.
But he opposes everyone
who does evil.”
13Can anyone really harm you for being eager to do good deeds?
14Even if you have to suffer for doing good things, God will bless you. So stop being afraid and don't worry about what people might do.
21Those flood waters were like baptism that now saves you. But baptism is more than just washing your body. It means turning to God with a clear conscience, because Jesus Christ was raised from death.
22Christ is now in heaven, where he sits at the right side of God. All angels, authorities, and powers are under his control.
