That the proof of your faith, much more precious than perishing gold, and being tried by fire, might be found to praise and honour and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ:

Servants being subjected to masters in all fear; not only to the good and equitable, but also to the crooked.

For what glory, if, sinning and being cuffed, ye endure? but if, doing good, and suffering, ye endure, this is grace with God.

Who, being reviled, reviled not back; suffering, he threatened not; and delivered to him judging justly;

Likewise, wives being subject to their own husbands; that also, if any believe not the word, by the turning back of wives might be gained without the word;

For so once also the holy women, hoping in God, arranged themselves, being subjected to their own husbands:

And consecrate the Lord God in your hearts: and being ready always for a justification to every one asking you the word of the hope in you with meekness and fear:

They having been once unbelieving, when the longsuffering of God waited in Noah's days, the ark being prepared, in which few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

Being hospitable to one another without murmurings.

Dearly beloved, be not astonished at the refining of fire in you, being for trial to you, as a strange thing happening to you:

Neither as ruling over the portions obtained by lot, but being types of the flock.

Likewise, ye younger, be subjected to the elders. And all being subject to one another, be wrapped up in humility: for God opposes the proud, and gives grace to the humble.
