3:1 你们作妻子的，要顺服自己的丈夫；这样，若有不信从道理的丈夫，他们虽然不听道，也可以因妻子的品行被感化过来；
3:1 Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives,
3:2 这正是因看见你们有贞洁的品行和敬畏的心。
3:2 when they see the purity and reverence of your lives.
3:3 你们不要以外面的辫头发，戴金饰，穿美衣为妆饰，
3:3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes.
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。
3:4 Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.
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；
3:5 For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They were submissive to 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。
3:6 like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.
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”)；因她比你软弱(“比你软弱”原文作“是软弱的器皿”)，与你一同承受生命之恩的，所以要敬重她，这样便叫你们的祷告没有阻碍。
3:7 Husbands, 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 )

3:8 Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble.
3:9 不以恶报恶，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。
3:9 Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may 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，
3:10 For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.
3:11 也要离恶行善，寻求和睦，一心追赶。
3:11 He must turn from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it.
