1 Peter 3:9-18

9not rendering evilG2556 for evilG2556, or railing for railing; but on the contraryG5121, blessingG2129 [others], because ye have been calledG2564 to this, that ye should inheritG2816 blessingG2129.

10For he that will loveG25 lifeG2222 and seeG3708 goodG18 daysG2250, let him cause his tongueG1100 to ceaseG3973 from evilG2556 and his lipsG5491 that they speakG2980 no guile.

11And let him avoid evilG2556, and do goodG18; let him seekG2212 peaceG1515 and pursueG1377 it;

12because [the] eyesG3788 of [the] LordG2962 [are] on [the] righteousG1342, and his earsG3775 towards their supplications; but [the] faceG4383 of [the] LordG2962 [is] against them that do evilG2556.

13And who shall injure you if ye have becomeG1096 imitators of that which [is] goodG18?

14But if alsoG2532 ye should sufferG3958 for righteousness' sakeG1223, blessed [are ye]; but be not afraidG5399 of their fearG5401, neither be troubledG5015;

15but sanctifyG37 [the] LordG2962 the ChristG5547 in your heartsG2588, and [be] alwaysG104 prepared to [give] an answer [to] every oneG3588 that asksG154 you to give an accountG3056 of the hopeG1680 that [is] in you, but with meekness and fearG5401;

16having a goodG18 conscienceG4893, that [as to that] in which they speakG2635 against you as evildoers, they may be ashamed who calumniate your goodG18 conversation in ChristG5547.

17For [it is] better, if the will of 1GodG2316 should will it, to sufferG3958 [as] well-doers than [as] evildoers;

18for ChristG5547 indeed has onceG530 suffered for sinsG266, [the] justG1342 for [the] unjustG94, that he might bringG4317 us to 2GodG2316; being putG2289 to deathG2289 in fleshG4561, but made aliveG2227 in [the] SpiritG4151,
