1 Peter 3:15-17
15but 1sanctifyG37 2ChristG5547 as LordG2962 in your heartsG2588, alwaysG104 being readyG2092 3to make a 4defenseG627 to everyoneG3956 who asksG154 you to give an accountG3056 for the 5hopeG1680 that is in you, yetG235 6with gentlenessG4240 and 78reverenceG5401;
169and keepG2192 a 10goodG18 conscienceG4893 soG2443 that in the thing in whichG3739 11you are slanderedG2635, thoseG3588 who revileG1908 your goodG18 behaviorG391 in ChristG5547 will be putG2617 to shameG2617.
17For 12it is betterG2909, 13ifG1487 14GodG2316 should willG2309 it so, that you sufferG3958 for doingG15 what is rightG15 ratherG2228 thanG2228 for doingG2554 what is wrongG2554.
