G3588–ὁ–ho

who `were' once not a people, and `are' now the people of God; who had not found kindness, and now have found kindness.

οἱ hoi “those [who]”

Beloved, I call upon `you', as strangers and sojourners, to keep from the fleshly desires, that war against the soul,

τῶν tōn “<the>”τῆς tēs “the”

having your behaviour among the nations right, that in that which they speak against you as evil-doers, of the good works having beheld, they may glorify God in a day of inspection.

τὴν tēn “the”τοῖς tois “the”τῶν tōn “the”τὸν ton “<the>”

Be subject, then, to every human creation, because of the Lord, whether to a king, as the highest,

τὸν ton “the”

because, so is the will of God, doing good, to put to silence the ignorance of the foolish men;

τὸ to “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τὴν tēn “the”τῶν tōn “<the>”

as free, and not having the freedom as the cloak of the evil, but as servants of God;

τῆς tēs “<the>”τὴν tēn “the”

to all give ye honour; the brotherhood love ye; God fear ye; the king honour ye.

τὴν tēn “The”τὸν ton “<the>”τὸν ton “the”

The domestics! be subjecting yourselves in all fear to the masters, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the cross;

Οἱ Hoi “you who [are]”τοῖς tois “<the>”τοῖς tois “to the”τοῖς tois “to the”

for to this ye were called, because Christ also did suffer for you, leaving to you an example, that ye may follow his steps,

τοῖς tois “the”

who did not commit sin, nor was guile found in his mouth,

τῷ tō “the”

who being reviled -- was not reviling again, suffering -- was not threatening, and was committing himself to Him who is judging righteously,

τῷ tō “to the [One]”

who our sins himself did bear in his body, upon the tree, that to the sins having died, to the righteousness we may live; by whose stripes ye were healed,

τὰς tas “the”τῷ tō “the”τὸ to “the”ταῖς tais “<the>”τῇ tēa “<the>”τῷ tō “by the”

for ye were as sheep going astray, but ye turned back now to the shepherd and overseer of your souls.

τὸν ton “the”τῶν tōn “of the”

In like manner, the wives, be ye subject to your own husbands, that even if certain are disobedient to the word, through the conversation of the wives, without the word, they may be won,

τοῖς tois “<the>”τῷ tō “to the”τῆς tēs “the”τῶν tōn “of the”

having beheld your pure behaviour in fear,

τὴν tēn “the”

whose adorning -- let it not be that which is outward, of plaiting of hair, and of putting around of things of gold, or of putting on of garments,

ὁ ho “<the>”

but -- the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible thing of the meek and quiet spirit, which is, before God, of great price,

ὁ ho “the”τῆς tēs “of the”τῷ tō “the”τοῦ tou “of the”τοῦ tou “the”

for thus once also the holy women who did hope on God, were adorning themselves, being subject to their own husbands,

αἱ hai “the”αἱ hai “those”τὸν ton “<the>”τοῖς tois “<the>”

as Sarah was obedient to Abraham, calling him `sir,' of whom ye did become daughters, doing good, and not fearing any terror.

τῷ tō “<the>”

The husbands, in like manner, dwelling with `them', according to knowledge, as to a weaker vessel -- to the wife -- imparting honour, as also being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered.

Οἱ Hoi “you who [are]”τῷ tō “with the”τὸ to “this”τὰς tas “the”

And finally, being all of one mind, having fellow-feeling, loving as brethren, compassionate, courteous,

Τὸ To “<the>”

for `he who is willing to love life, and to see good days, let him guard his tongue from evil, and his lips -- not to speak guile;

ὁ ho “The [one]”τὴν tēn “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

because the eyes of the Lord `are' upon the righteous, and His ears -- to their supplication, and the face of the Lord `is' upon those doing evil;'

οἵ oi “the”

and who `is' he who will be doing you evil, if of Him who is good ye may become imitators?

ὁ ho “he who”τοῦ tou “for that which [is]”

but if ye also should suffer because of righteousness, happy `are ye'! and of their fear be not afraid, nor be troubled,

τὸν ton “<the>”
