1 Peter 3:9 in context
- 7Ye husbands, in like manner, dwell with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor unto the woman, as unto the weaker vessel, as being also joint-heirs of the grace of life; to the end that your prayers be not hindered.
- 8Finally, be ye all likeminded, compassionate, loving as brethren, tenderhearted, humbleminded:
- 9not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but contrariwise blessing; for hereunto were ye called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
- 10For, He that would love life, And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips that they speak no guile:
- 11And let him turn away from evil, and do good; Let him seek peace, and pursue it.
