1st Kafa (1 Peter) — 3
Wives
1 In the same way, you wives must accept the authority of your husbands. Then, even if some husband refuse to obey the Good News, your righteous lives will speak to them without any words. They will be won over
2 By observing your pure and reverent lives.
3 Do not be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes.
4 You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet ruach, which is so precious to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH.
5 This is how the Qadash women of old made themselves beautiful. They put their trust in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH and accepted the authority of their husbands.
6 For instance, Sharah obeyed her husband, Abraham, and called him her master. You are her daughters when you do what is right without fear of what your husbands might do.
Husbands
7 In the same way, you husbands should live with your wives in an understanding way, since they are weaker than you. You should show them respect, because the Barakah 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH gave to you, is the same Barakah 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH gave to your wife, the favor of life. Do this so that nothing will stop your prayers from being heard by 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH.
All Qadash ones
8 Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude.
9 Do not repay evil for evil. Do not retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a Barakah. That is what 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH has called you to do, and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH will grant you HIS Barakah.
10 For the Scriptures say, “If you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies.
11 Turn away from evil and do good. Search for Shalum, and work to maintain it.
12 The eyes of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH watch over those who do right, and the ears of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH are open to their prayers. But 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH turns HIS face against those who do evil.”
Suffering for Doing Good
13 Now, who will want to harm you if you are eager to do good?
14 But even if you suffer for doing what is right, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH will reward you for it. So do not worry or be afraid of their threats.
15 Instead, you must worship Ha'Mashyach as MASTER of your life. And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it.
16 But do this in a gentle and respectful way. Keep your conscience clear. Then if people speak against you, they will be ashamed when they see what a good life you live because you belong to Ha'Mashyach.
17 Remember, it is better to suffer for doing good, if that is what 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH wants, than to suffer for doing wrong!
18 Ha'Mashyach suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but He died for sinners to bring you safely home to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH. Ha'Mashyach suffered physical death, but He was raised to life in the Ruach.
19 So Ha'Mashyach went and preached to the ruachs in prison
20 Those who disobeyed 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH long ago when 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH waited patiently while Nuah was building his boat. Only eight people were saved from drowning in that terrible flood.
21 And that water is a picture of baptism, which now saves you, not by removing dirt from your body, but as a response to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH from a clean conscience. It is effective because of the resurrection of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA Ha'Mashyach.
22 Now Ha'Mashyach has gone to Shamaym. Ha'Mashyach is seated in the place of honor next to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, and all the Malakym and authorities and powers accept the authority of Ha'Mashyach.
