1 Peter 3:6-14 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

6. As Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters you are, doing well, and not fearing any disturbance.

7. Ye husbands, likewise dwelling with them according to knowledge, giving honour to the female as to the weaker vessel, and as to the co-heirs of the grace of life: that your prayers be not hindered.

8. And in fine, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, being lovers of the brotherhood, merciful, modest, humble:

9. Not rendering evil for evil, nor railing for railing, but contrariwise, blessing: for unto this are you called, that you may inherit a blessing.

10. For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile.

11. Let him decline from evil, and do good: let him seek after peace and pursue it:

12. Because the eyes of the Lord are upon the just, and his ears unto their prayers: but the countenance of the Lord upon them that do evil things.

13. And who is he that can hurt you, if you be zealous of good?

14. But if also you suffer any thing for justice' sake, blessed are ye. And be not afraid of their fear, and be not troubled.
