1 Peter 3:12-15
121For the eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous, And His ears attend to their prayer, But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
132Who is 3there to harm you if you prove zealous for what is good? 14But even if you should 4suffer for the sake of righteousness, 5you 6are blessed. 7And do not fear their 8intimidation, and do not be troubled, 15but 9sanctify 10Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready 11to make a 12defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the 13hope that is in you, yet 14with gentleness and 1516reverence;
