1 Peter 3:7-11

You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, 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.

To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, loving, compassionate, and humble;

not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you would inherit a blessing.

For, “The one who desires life, to love and see good days, Must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.

“He must turn away from evil and do good; He must seek peace and pursue it.
