You married women, in the same way, must be submissive to your husbands, so that, if any of them do not believe the message, they may be won over without a word through the living of the wives,

You married men, in the same way, must live with your wives in an intelligent consideration of them; you must show them deference, too, as the weaker sex, as they share with you the gracious gift of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.

So then, since Christ has suffered in our physical form, you too must arm yourselves with the same determination. For whoever suffers in his physical form has done with sin,

They are astonished that you are not still rushing hand in hand with them into the same excesses of profligate living, and they abuse you for it;

Resist him and be strong in faith, because you know that your brotherhood all over the world is experiencing the same sort of sufferings.
