Discovery Box1 Peter 3:7-8 
Context3:7 Husbands, in the same way, treat your wives with consideration as the weaker partners 1 and show them honor as fellow heirs of the grace of life. In this way nothing will hinder your prayers. 2
Suffering for Doing Good
3:8 Finally, all of you be harmonious, 3 sympathetic, affectionate, compassionate, and humble.
1 tn Grk “living together according to knowledge, as to the weaker, female vessel.” The primary verbs of vs. 7 are participles (“living together…showing honor”) but they continue the sense of command from the previous paragraphs.
2 tn Grk “so that your prayers may not be hindered.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek, this clause was translated as a separate sentence.
3 tn There is no main verb in this verse (Grk “Finally, all [ ] harmonious”), but it continues the sense of command from the previous paragraphs.
