1 Peter 3:7-9
Legacy Standard Bible
7 (A)You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with a weaker (B)vessel, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.
8 [a]Now to sum up, (C)all of you be like-minded, sympathetic, (D)brotherly, (E)tender-hearted, and (F)humble in spirit; 9 (G)not returning evil for evil or (H)reviling for reviling, but [b]giving a (I)blessing instead, for (J)you were called for the very purpose that you might (K)inherit a blessing.
