1 Peter 3:14-16
14But even if you should 1suffer for the sake of righteousness, 2you 3are blessed. 4And do not fear their 5intimidation, and do not be troubled,
15but 6sanctify 7Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready 8to make a 9defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the 10hope that is in you, yet 11with gentleness and 1213reverence;
1614and keep a 15good conscience so that in the thing in which 16you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame.
