The King James Version Bible

1 Peter 3:7-12

  1. 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.

  2. Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:

  3. Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.

  4. 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:

  5. Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.

  6. 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.
