Men not women are the weaker vessels!

Textus Receptus Greek:
1Pe 3:6 ως σαρρα υπηκουσεν τω αβρααμ κυριον αυτον καλουσα ης εγενηθητε τεκνα αγαθοποιουσαι και μη φοβουμεναι μηδεμιαν πτοησιν
1Pe 3:7 οι ανδρες ομοιως συνοικουντες κατα γνωσιν ως ασθενεστερω σκευει τω γυναικειω απονεμοντες τιμην ως και συγκληρονομοι χαριτος ζωης εις το μη εκκοπτεσθαι τας προσευχας υμων

KJV version:
1Pe 3:6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
1Pe 3:7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

Literal translation of the Greek:
1Peter 3
6 Like Sarah being subordinate to Abraham as he is to his Lord, I called for grown up children, good natured and not full of fear.
7 You men(or husbands) likewise dwelling together knowing as a weaker person, treat the woman with honour as well as seniors, living gracefully so your prayers are not cut off.

It becomes obvious that many of the Bible's verses in the KJV and other versions were translated by men putting an obvious slant on the man's position and the woman's position from a man's perspective and not God's! God is very clear in His Word and leaves no room for mistakes! (Genesis 1:27 So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them. Genesis 5:2 Male and female created He them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.)
Notice how God here called both male and female Adam to begin with, they were both man as in mankind, equal in every way. It wasn't until later the first Adam called his wife Chavah(Genesis 3:20). Now to all men who may read this, we may be physically stronger than most females but that will usually also mean that the inverse is true in regards to spiritual strength, we are the weaker person on the whole, spiritually! This is generalising but as I can't account for over 7 billion individuals this is also the way of God's teaching, His doctrine, His Torah! So any men out there who have abused these falsely translated verses to suit their own position in this world let it be known, God will judge you according to His standard, not yours, according to His Word and not yours! Be very afraid if you have justified yourself using false translations and have not sought out the Truth of any matter! God's Word is Yeshua and He is the Truth. Being spiritually the weaker person in most cases men are required to honour women and the elderly above themselves and each other as according to God's Word. The original Greek language of the New Testament can only be translated as worded above in the literal translation. To obtain the KJV type translation they have had to twist and change the scriptures to get it to say what they wanted it to say and the fate that awaits men that have done so is described in Revelation 22:18-19.
