Discovery Box1 Peter 3:1 
ContextWives and Husbands
3:1 In the same way, wives, be subject to your own husbands. Then, 1 even if some are disobedient to the word, they will be won over without a word by the way you live, 2
1 Peter 3:5-6
Context3:5 For in the same way the holy women who hoped in God long ago adorned themselves by being subject to their husbands, 3:6 like Sarah who obeyed 3 Abraham, calling him lord. You become her children 4 when you do what is good and have no fear in doing so. 5
1 tn Grk “that…they may be won over,” showing the purpose of “being subject” (vs. 1b). Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
2 tn Grk “by the wives’ behavior.”
3 tn Grk “as Sarah obeyed.”
4 tn Grk “whose children you become.”
5 tn Grk “doing good and not fearing any intimidation.”
