1 Peter 3

http://www.esvbible.org/1+Peter+3/

Wives can win their husbands over to Christ by submitting to their authority. They should also never let their beauty be something external because true beauty comes from the inside. This is how truly beautiful women have always shown their beauty. Peter also had to remind the men of his time that their wives were equally people, and they receive the same love from God that men do.

Even in today's world, people struggle with the last thing that 1 Peter 3 says. In this part, Peter says that we should live in harmony with other people. We should never repay evil with evil but should repay it with blessings because we have something so much greater than them, and we need to share it with all people. People shouldn't want to make you suffer when you do good, but if they do, just think about how much God has in store for you if your suffering is His will. Keep your conscience clear. When you were baptized, it was not so that the dirt could be washed away but so that you could have a clear conscience. Jesus didn't sin but He died and came back to life. His actions speak volumes more than any of us ever could, so we have to at least stay out of the way if we're not doing good.
