New International Version

1 Peter 3:7-12 New International Version (NIV)

7. Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.

8. Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.

9. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.

10. For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech.

11. They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it.

12. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
