1 Peter 3:9-12
91not returning evil for evil or 2insult for insult, but giving a 3blessing instead; for 4you were called for the very purpose that you would 5inherit a blessing. 10For, “6The one who desires life, to love and see good days, Must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.117He must turn away from evil and do good; He must seek peace and pursue it.128For the eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous, And His ears attend to their prayer, But the face of the Lord is against evildoers.”
