1 Peter 3:7-9

The Voice

⁷ In the same way, husbands, as you live with your wives, understand the situations women face as the weaker vessel. Each of you should respect your wife and value her as an equal heir in the gracious gift of life. Do this so that nothing will get in the way of your prayers.

⁸ Finally, all of you, be like-minded and show sympathy, love, compassion, and humility to and for each other— ⁹ not paying back evil with evil or insult with insult, but repaying the bad with a blessing. It was this you were called to do, so that you might inherit a blessing.
