- 3:15 Instead, in your hearts set Christ apart as the holy Lord. Be ready at all times to make your defense to anyone who asks you for the reason behind the hope you hold. 21
- 3:18 For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous one for the unrighteous, so that he might lead you to God. In the flesh he was put to death, but in the spirit he was made alive. 15

- 3:5 This is how the holy women of the past who put their hope in God made themselves beautiful: they submitted to their own husbands. 1
- 3:6 So Sarah obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You have become her daughters, as long as you do what is good and let nothing terrify you. 1
- 3:8 To sum up: all of you, be united in mind, share one another's feelings, love each other as brothers and sisters, be tender in heart and humble in mind. 1
- 3:10 For whoever wants to love life and see good days must hold back the tongue from evil and the lips from speaking deceit, 1
- 3:16 Yet answer with gentleness and with reverence for God, keeping a good conscience, so that when people speak evil of you, those who insult your good life in Christ will be ashamed. 1
- 3:22 He went into heaven and is now at God's right hand, and angels, authorities, and powers have been made subject to him. 1
