17Porque este hecho de la reina pasará á noticia de todas las mujeres, para hacerles tener en poca estima á sus maridos, diciendo: El rey Assuero mandó traer delante de sí á la reina Vasthi, y ella no vino.
18Y entonces dirán esto las señoras de Persia y de Media que oyeren el hecho de la reina, á todos los príncipes del rey: y habrá mucho menosprecio y enojo.

 The unbeliever as such slights the word and has no conception of its power when by the Spirit Christ is thereby revealed to the soul. The practical bearing has immense weight with one ignorant of God and of himself. But his conscience can value greatly, gentleness, lowliness, patience, obedience in another and especially that other his wife. He is well aware how unreasonable and unkind he has often been to her; yet she has borne it, and never complained, never reproached, but been as loving and dutiful as ever. He is forced to feel that there must be something that makes the difference in her faith which he often mocked. (1 Peter 3:1-6 by W. Kelly)
 As with servants, so with wives, Christians who stand in the subject place might and must find frequent difficulty with heathen or Jewish superiors to whom they were so near. For the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; and it is provoked by what is of the Spirit in those whom they command. (1 Peter 3:1-6 by W. Kelly)
 This testimony to the effect of the Word by its fruits might take the place of the Word itself, if their husbands would not listen to it. (1 Peter 3 by J.N. Darby)
 If he is a Christian he obeys the word and she obeys him. (1 Peter 3 by F.B. Hole)
 Subjection, be it remembered, does not mean inferiority. In business partnerships two men may be equal partners and yet one is recognized as the senior with whom the final decision rests. (1 Peter 3 by F.B. Hole)
 She, at any rate, is to be a Christian woman and let her Christianity shine in her pure manner of life. (1 Peter 3 by F.B. Hole)

J. N. Darby Translation

+
1
Likewise, wives, be subjectn to your own husbands, that, even if any are disobedient to the word, they may be gained without the word by the conversationo of the wives,

JND Translation Notes

+
n
Not the aorist, a particular act, as in ch. 2.13, but the present participle, an habitual state, as in ch. 2.18.
o
Or "manner of life."

W. Kelly Translation

+
1
Likewise, ye wives, [be] subject to your own husbandsa, that even if any are disobedient to the word, they may be gained withoutb word through the behaviourc of the wives,

WK Translation Notes

+
a
The RV shows a rendering of this verse similar to 2:18, and slightly different from 2:13, where it is the aorist, expressive of once-for-all action, as the need presented itself; here it is the present as expressing continuance or habit.
b
See note to {vi 23447}{/vi}.
c
Here and in verse 2 "behaviour" is no doubt more intelligible English for our day than the obsolete "conversation" for manner of life in the KJV.
