1 Peter 3:7 in Context — 1 Peter 3
5 Ainsi se paraient autrefois les saintes femmes qui espéraient en Dieu, soumises à leurs maris,
6 comme Sara, qui obéissait à Abraham et l’appelait son seigneur. C’est d’elle que vous êtes devenues les filles, en faisant ce qui est bien, sans vous laisser troubler par aucune crainte.
7 Maris, montrez à votre tour de la sagesse dans vos rapports avec vos femmes, comme avec un sexe plus faible; honorez-les, comme devant aussi hériter avec vous de la grâce de la vie. Qu’il en soit ainsi, afin que rien ne vienne faire obstacle à vos prières.
8 Enfin, soyez tous animés des mêmes pensées et des mêmes sentiments, pleins d’amour fraternel, de compassion, d’humilité.
9 Ne rendez point mal pour mal, ou injure pour injure; bénissez, au contraire, car c’est à cela que vous avez été appelés, afin d’hériter la bénédiction.
