\v 7 In the same way, you husbands should live with your wives according to understanding, as with a weaker container, a woman. You should give them honor as fellow heirs of the gift of life. Do this so that your prayers will not be hindered.

\v 8 Finally, all of you, be likeminded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, and humble.

\v 15 Instead, set apart the Lord Christ in your hearts as holy. Always be ready to answer everyone who asks you why you have confidence in God. Do this with meekness and respect.
2016-11-04 21:12:37 +00:00
\v 16 Have a good conscience so that the people who insult your good life in Christ may be ashamed because they are speaking against you as if you were evildoers.

\v 21 This is a symbol of the baptism that saves you now—not as a washing away of dirt from the body, but as the appeal of a good conscience to God—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

\v 22 Christ is at the right hand of God. He went into heaven. Angels, authorities, and powers must submit to him.
