In context
AI-assisted, sourced1 Peter 3:18-22Christ suffered for sins
About 1 Peter 3Wives are to be in subjection to their husbands so that some may be won "without the word," adorned with "a meek and quiet spirit," and husbands are to honour their wives as "heirs together of the grace of life." All are to be of one mind, "Not rendering evil for evil," and if they "suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye," always "ready... to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you." For "Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God." 1 Peter 3:11 Peter 3:41 Peter 3:71 Peter 3:81 Peter 3:91 Peter 3:141 Peter 3:151 Peter 3:18
