but according as He who did call you is holy, ye also, become holy in all behaviour,

Wherefore, also, it is contained in the Writing: 'Lo, I lay in Zion a chief corner-stone, choice, precious, and he who is believing on him may not be put to shame;'

and a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence -- who are stumbling at the word, being unbelieving, -- to which also they were set;

The domestics! be subjecting yourselves in all fear to the masters, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the cross;

for to this ye were called, because Christ also did suffer for you, leaving to you an example, that ye may follow his steps,

for thus once also the holy women who did hope on God, were adorning themselves, being subject to their own husbands,

The husbands, in like manner, dwelling with them, according to knowledge, as to a weaker vessel -- to the wife -- imparting honour, as also being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered.

but if ye also should suffer because of righteousness, happy are ye! and of their fear be not afraid, nor be troubled,

because also Christ once for sin did suffer -- righteous for unrighteous -- that he might lead us to God, having been put to death indeed, in the flesh, and having been made alive in the spirit,

in which also to the spirits in prison having gone he did preach,

also to which an antitype doth now save us -- baptism, (not a putting away of the filth of flesh, but the question of a good conscience in regard to God,) through the rising again of Jesus Christ,

Christ, then, having suffered for us in the flesh, ye also with the same mind arm yourselves, because he who did suffer in the flesh hath done with sin,

for for this also to dead men was good news proclaimed, that they may be judged, indeed, according to men in the flesh, and may live according to God in the spirit.

but, according as ye have fellowship with the sufferings of the Christ, rejoice ye, that also in the revelation of his glory ye may rejoice -- exulting;

so that also those suffering according to the will of god, as to a stedfast Creator, let them commit their own souls in good doing.
