1 Peter 3:10-15
10For,
“Whoever would love lifeand see good daysmust keep his tongue from eviland his lips from deceitful speech.11He must turn from evil and do good;he must seek peace and pursue it.12For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,and His ears are inclined to their prayer.But the face of the Lord is againstthose who do evil.”1
13Who can harm you if you are zealous for what is good?
14But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear what they fear; do not be shaken.”2 15But in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord.3 Always be prepared to give a defense to everyone who asks you the reason for the hope that is in you. But respond with gentleness and respect,
