1 Peter 3:13-17
131And whoG5101 is 2there to harmG2559 you ifG1437 you proveG1096 zealousG2207 for whatG18 isG18 goodG18?
14But evenG2532 ifG1487 you should 3sufferG3958 for the sakeG1223 of righteousnessG1343, 4you 5are blessedG3107. 6And do not fearG5399 their 7intimidationG5401, and do not be in dreadG5015,
15but 8sanctifyG37 9ChristG5547 as LordG2962 in your heartsG2588, alwaysG104 being readyG2092 10to make a 11defenseG627 to everyoneG3956 who asksG154 you to give an accountG3056 for the 12hopeG1680 that is in you, but 13with gentlenessG4240 and 14respectG5401;
1615and keepG2192 a 16goodG18 conscienceG4893 soG2443 thatG2443 in the thing in whichG3739 17you are slanderedG2635, thoseG3588 who disparageG1908 your goodG18 behaviorG391 in ChristG5547 will be putG2617 toG2617 shameG2617.
17For 18it is betterG2909, 19ifG1487 20GodG2316 should willG2309 it so, that you sufferG3958 for doingG15 whatG15 isG15 rightG15 ratherG2228 thanG2228 for doingG2554 whatG2554 isG2554 wrongG2554.
