New Century Version

1 Peter 3:6-13 New Century Version (NCV)

6. Sarah obeyed Abraham, her husband, and called him her master. And you women are true children of Sarah if you always do what is right and are not afraid.

7. In the same way, you husbands should live with your wives in an understanding way, since they are weaker than you. But show them respect, because God gives them the same blessing he gives you—the grace that gives true life. Do this so that nothing will stop your prayers.

8. Finally, all of you should be in agreement, understanding each other, loving each other as family, being kind and humble.

9. Do not do wrong to repay a wrong, and do not insult to repay an insult. But repay with a blessing, because you yourselves were called to do this so that you might receive a blessing.

10. The Scripture says,“A person must do these thingsto enjoy life and have many happy days.He must not say evil things,and he must not tell lies.

11. He must stop doing evil and do good.He must look for peace and work for it.

12. The Lord sees the good peopleand listens to their prayers.But the Lord is againstthose who do evil.”

13. If you are trying hard to do good, no one can really hurt you.
