1 Peter 3:9-12

9Don’t pay people back with evil for the evil they do to you, or ridicule those who ridicule you. Instead, bless them, because you were called to inherit a blessing.

10“People who want to live a full life and enjoy good days must keep their tongues from saying evil things, and their lips from speaking deceitful things.

11They must turn away from evil and do good. They must seek peace and pursue it.

12The Lord’s eyes are on those who do what he approves. His ears hear their prayer. The Lord confronts those who do evil.”
