CHAP. III.
1 Hee teacheth the duetie of wiues and husbands to each other, 8 exhorting all men to vnitie, and loue, 14 and to suffer persecution. 19 Hee declareth also the benefits of Christ toward the old world.
2 While they beholde your chaste conuersation coupled with feare:
6 Euen as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him Lord, whose daughters ye are as long as ye doe well, and are not afraid with any amazement.6
8 Finally be ye all of one minde, hauing compassion one of another, loue as brethren, be pitifull, be courteous,8
10 For hee that will loue life, and see good dayes, let him refraine his tongue from euil, and his lips that they speake no guile:10
11 Let him eschew euil and do good, let him seeke peace and ensue it.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are ouer the righteous, and his eares are open vnto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that doe euill.12
13 And who is hee that will harme you, if ye bee followers of that which is good?
14 But and if ye suffer for righteousnes sake, happy are ye, and be not afraid of their terrour, neither be troubled:14
15 But sanctifie the Lord God in your hearts, & be ready alwayes to giue an answere to euery man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you, with meekenesse and feare:15
17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that yee suffer for well doing, then for euill doing.
19 By which also he went and preached vnto the spirits in prison,
