PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Ομοίως αι γυναίκες, υποτάσσεσθε εις τους άνδρας υμών, ίνα και εάν τινές απειθώσιν εις τον λόγον, κερδηθώσιν άνευ του λόγου διά της διαγωγής των γυναικών,
1 In the same way, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands, so that, even if any don’t obey the Word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word,
1 Ὁμοίως αἱ γυναῖκες ὑποτασσόμεναι τοῖς ἰδίοις ἀνδράσιν, ἵνα καὶ εἴ τινες ἀπειθοῦσι τῷ λόγῳ, διὰ τῆς τῶν γυναικῶν ἀναστροφῆς ἄνευ λόγου κερδηθήσονται,
2 αφού ίδωσι την μετά φόβου καθαράν διαγωγήν σας.
2 seeing your pure behavior in fear.
2 ἐποπτεύσαντες τὴν ἐν φόβῳ ἁγνὴν ἀναστροφὴν ὑμῶν.
3 Των οποίων ο στολισμός ας ήναι ουχί ο εξωτερικός, ο του πλέγματος των τριχών και της περιθέσεως των χρυσίων ή της ενδύσεως των ιματίων,
3 Let your beauty come not from the outward adorning of braiding your hair, and of wearing gold ornaments or of putting on fine clothing,
3 ὧν ἔστω οὐχ ὁ ἔξωθεν ἐμπλοκῆς τριχῶν καὶ περιθέσεως χρυσίων ἢ ἐνδύσεως ἱματίων κόσμος,
4 αλλ' ο κρυπτός άνθρωπος της καρδίας, κεκοσμημένος με την αφθαρσίαν του πράου και ησυχίου πνεύματος, το οποίον ενώπιον του Θεού είναι πολύτιμον.
4 but from the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in God’s sight.
4 ἀλλ᾽ ὁ κρυπτὸς τῆς καρδίας ἄνθρωπος ἐν τῷ ἀφθάρτῳ τοῦ πραέος καὶ ἡσυχίου πνεύματος, ὅ ἐστιν ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ πολυτελές.
5 Διότι ούτω ποτέ και αι άγιαι γυναίκες αι ελπίζουσαι επί τον Θεόν εστόλιζον εαυτάς, υποτασσόμεναι εις τους άνδρας αυτών,
5 For this is how in the past the holy women who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands.
5 οὕτω γάρ ποτε καὶ αἱ ἅγιαι γυναῖκες αἱ ἐλπίζουσαι ἐπὶ τὸν Θεὸν ἐκόσμουν ἑαυτάς, ὑποτασσόμεναι τοῖς ἰδίοις ἀνδράσιν,
6 καθώς η Σάρρα υπήκουσεν εις τον Αβραάμ, καλούσα αυτόν κύριον· της οποίας σεις εγεννήθητε τέκνα, αγαθοποιούσαι και μη φοβούμεναι μηδεμίαν πτόησιν.
6 So Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children you now are if you do well and are not put in fear by any terror.
6 ὡς Σάρρα ὑπήκουσε τῷ Ἀβραάμ, κύριον αὐτὸν καλοῦσα· ἧς ἐγενήθητε τέκνα· — ἀγαθοποιοῦσαι καὶ μὴ φοβούμεναι μηδεμίαν πτόησιν.
7 Οι άνδρες ομοίως, συνοικείτε με τας γυναίκάς σας εν φρονήσει, αποδίδοντες τιμήν εις το γυναικείον γένος ως εις σκεύος ασθενέστερον, και ως εις συγκληρονόμους της χάριτος της ζωής, διά να μη εμποδίζωνται αι προσευχαί σας.
7 You husbands, in the same way, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman as to the weaker vessel, as also being joint heirs of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.
7 Οἱ ἄνδρες ὁμοίως συνοικοῦντες κατὰ γνῶσιν, ὡς ἀσθενεστέρῳ σκεύει τῷ γυναικείῳ ἀπονέμοντες τιμήν, ὡς καὶ συγκληρονόμοι χάριτος ζωῆς, εἰς τὸ μὴ ἐγκόπτεσθαι τὰς προσευχὰς ὑμῶν.
8 Τελευταίον δε, γίνεσθε πάντες ομόφρονες, συμπαθείς, φιλάδελφοι, εύσπλαγχνοι, φιλόφρονες,
8 Finally, all of you be like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous,
8 Τὸ δὲ τέλος πάντες ὁμόφρονες, συμπαθεῖς, φιλάδελφοι, εὔσπλαγχνοι, φιλόφρονες,
9 μη αποδίδοντες κακόν αντί κακού ή λοιδορίαν αντί λοιδορίας, αλλά το εναντίον ευλογούντες, επειδή εξεύρετε ότι εις τούτο προσεκλήθητε, διά να κληρονομήσητε ευλογίαν.
9 not rendering evil for evil or insult for insult; but instead blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.
9 μὴ ἀποδιδόντες κακὸν ἀντὶ κακοῦ ἢ λοιδορίαν ἀντὶ λοιδορίας, τοὐναντίον δὲ εὐλογοῦντες, εἰδότες ὅτι εἰς τοῦτο ἐκλήθητε, ἵνα εὐλογίαν κληρονομήσητε.
10 Διότι Όστις θέλει να αγαπά την ζωήν και ίδη ημέρας αγαθάς ας παύση την γλώσσαν αυτού από κακού και τα χείλη αυτού από του να λαλώσι δόλον,
10 For, “He who would love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.
10 ὁ γὰρ θέλων ζωὴν ἀγαπᾶν καὶ ἰδεῖν ἡμέρας ἀγαθὰς παυσάτω τὴν γλῶσσαν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ κακοῦ καὶ χείλη αὐτοῦ τοῦ μὴ λαλῆσαι δόλον,
11 ας εκκλίνη από κακού και ας πράξη αγαθόν, ας ζητήση ειρήνην και ας ακολουθήση αυτήν·
11 Let him turn away from evil and do good. Let him seek peace and pursue it.
11 ἐκκλινάτω ἀπὸ κακοῦ καὶ ποιησάτω ἀγαθόν, ζητησάτω εἰρήνην καὶ διωξάτω αὐτήν.
12 διότι οι οφθαλμοί του Κυρίου είναι επί τους δικαίους και τα ώτα αυτού εις την δέησιν αυτών, το δε πρόσωπον του Κυρίου είναι κατά των πραττόντων κακά.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears open to their prayer; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
12 ὅτι ὀφθαλμοὶ Κυρίου ἐπὶ δικαίους καὶ ὦτα αὐτοῦ εἰς δέησιν αὐτῶν, πρόσωπον δὲ Κυρίου ἐπὶ ποιοῦντας κακά.
13 Και τις θέλει σας κακοποιήσει, εάν γείνητε μιμηταί του αγαθού;
13 Now who will harm you if you become imitators of that which is good?
13 Καὶ τίς ὁ κακώσων ὑμᾶς, ἐὰν τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ μιμηταὶ γένησθε;
14 Αλλ' εάν και πάσχητε διά την δικαιοσύνην, είσθε μακάριοι· τον δε φόβον αυτών μη φοβηθήτε μηδέ ταραχθήτε,
14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “Don’t fear what they fear, neither be troubled.”
14 ἀλλ᾽ εἰ καὶ πάσχοιτε διὰ δικαιοσύνην, μακάριοι. τὸν δὲ φόβον αὐτῶν μὴ φοβηθῆτε μηδὲ ταραχθῆτε,
15 αλλά αγιάσατε Κύριον τον Θεόν εν ταις καρδίαις υμών, και εστέ πάντοτε έτοιμοι εις απολογίαν μετά πραότητος και φόβου προς πάντα τον ζητούντα από σας λόγον περί της ελπίδος της εν υμίν,
15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts. Always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear,
15 Κύριον δὲ τὸν Θεὸν ἁγιάσατε ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν, ἕτοιμοι δὲ ἀεὶ πρὸς ἀπολογίαν παντὶ τῷ αἰτοῦντι ὑμᾶς λόγον περὶ τῆς ἐν ὑμῖν ἐλπίδος μετὰ πραΰτητος καὶ φόβου,
16 έχοντες συνείδησιν αγαθήν, ίνα, ενώ σας καταλαλώσιν ως κακοποιούς, καταισχυνθώσιν οι συκοφαντούντες την καλήν σας εν Χριστώ διαγωγήν.
16 having a good conscience. Thus, while you are spoken against as evildoers, they may be disappointed who curse your good way of life in Christ.
16 συνείδησιν ἔχοντες ἀγαθήν, ἵνα ἐν ᾧ καταλαλοῦσιν ὑμῶν ὡς κακοποιῶν, καταισχυνθῶσιν οἱ ἐπηρεάζοντες ὑμῶν τὴν ἀγαθὴν ἐν Χριστῷ ἀναστροφήν.
17 Διότι καλήτερον να πάσχητε, εάν ήναι ούτω το θέλημα του Θεού, αγαθοποιούντες παρά κακοποιούντες.
17 For it is better, if it is God’s will, that you suffer for doing what is right than for doing evil.
17 κρεῖττον γὰρ ἀγαθοποιοῦντας, εἰ θέλοι τὸ θέλημα τοῦ Θεοῦ, πάσχειν ἢ κακοποιοῦντας.
18 Επειδή και ο Χριστός άπαξ έπαθε διά τας αμαρτίας, ο δίκαιος υπέρ των αδίκων, διά να φέρη ημάς προς τον Θεόν, θανατωθείς μεν κατά την σάρκα, ζωοποιηθείς δε διά του πνεύματος·
18 Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the Spirit,
18 ὅτι καὶ Χριστὸς ἅπαξ περὶ ἁμαρτιῶν ἔπαθε, δίκαιος ὑπὲρ ἀδίκων, ἵνα ἡμᾶς προσαγάγῃ τῷ Θεῷ, θανατωθεὶς μὲν σαρκί, ζωοποιηθεὶς δὲ πνεύματι·
19 διά του οποίου πορευθείς εκήρυξε και προς τα πνεύματα τα εν τη φυλακή,
19 in whom he also went and preached to the spirits in prison,
19 ἐν ᾧ καὶ τοῖς ἐν φυλακῇ πνεύμασι πορευθεὶς ἐκήρυξεν,
20 τα οποία ηπείθησάν ποτέ, ότε η μακροθυμία του Θεού επρόσμενέ ποτέ αυτούς εν ταις ημέραις του Νώε, ενώ κατεσκευάζετο η κιβωτός, εις ην ολίγαι, τουτέστιν οκτώ, ψυχαί διεσώθησαν δι' ύδατος.
20 who before were disobedient when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ship was being built. In it, few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.
20 ἀπειθήσασί ποτε, ὅτε ἀπεξεδέχετο ἡ τοῦ Θεοῦ μακροθυμία ἐν ἡμέραις Νῶε κατασκευαζομένης κιβωτοῦ, εἰς ἣν ὀλίγαι, τοῦτ᾽ ἔστιν ὀκτὼ ψυχαί, διεσώθησαν δι᾽ ὕδατος.
21 Του οποίου αντίτυπον ον το βάπτισμα, σώζει και ημάς την σήμερον, ουχί αποβολή της ακαθαρσίας της σαρκός, αλλά μαρτυρία της αγαθής συνειδήσεως εις Θεόν, διά της αναστάσεως του Ιησού Χριστού,
21 This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you—not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
21 ὃ ἀντίτυπον νῦν καὶ ἡμᾶς σῴζει βάπτισμα, οὐ σαρκὸς ἀπόθεσις ῥύπου, ἀλλὰ συνειδήσεως ἀγαθῆς ἐπερώτημα εἰς Θεόν, δι᾽ ἀναστάσεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ,
22 όστις είναι εν δεξιά του Θεού πορευθείς εις τον ουρανόν, και εις ον υπετάχθησαν άγγελοι και εξουσίαι και δυνάμεις.
22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.
22 ὅς ἐστιν ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ Θεοῦ πορευθεὶς εἰς οὐρανόν, ὑποταγέντων αὐτῷ ἀγγέλων καὶ ἐξουσιῶν καὶ δυνάμεων.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… from the dead will raise up us also, if we do His will, and walk in His commandments, and love what He loved, keeping ourselves from all unrighteousness, covetousness, love of money, evil speaking, false witness; "not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing," or blow for blow, or cursing for cursing, but being mindful of what the Lord …
The possessions of the hidden man of the heart, which in the sight of God are of great price? Did they lose these?

For this cause then, though He said, "Take no thought what ye shall speak;" yet elsewhere He saith, "Be ready to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you." That is, as long as the contest is among friends, He commands us also to take thought; but when there is …

… Henceforth ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of power, and the rest: in accordance with which the Apostle Peter also writes, By the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is on the right hand of God, having gone into heaven.

For baptism is "not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience towards God." So in training us for the life that follows on the resurrection the Lord sets out all the manner of life required by the Gospel, laying down for us the law of gentleness, of endurance of wrong, of …
