1 Peter 3:9 in Context — 1 Peter 3
7 Semelhantemente vós maridos, convivei [com elas] com entendimento, dando honra à mulher, como a vaso mais fraco, como sendo [elas e vós] juntamente herdeiros da graça da vida; a fim de que as vossas orações não sejam impedidas.
8 E por fim, sede todos de uma mesma mentalidade, compassivos, tenhais amor pelos irmãos, e sede misericordiosos e benevolentes.
9 Não retribuais o mal com mal, ou insulto com insulto; ao contrário, bendizei, sabendo que para isto fostes chamados, para que herdeis a bênção.
10 Pois: quem quer amar a vida e ver dias bons, refreie sua língua do mal, e que seus lábios não falem engano.
11 Afaste-se do mal, e faça o bem; busque a paz, e siga-a.
