81To sumG5056 up, 2allG3956 of you be harmoniousG3675, sympatheticG4835, 34lovingG5361, 5compassionateG2155, and 6humbleG5012; 97not returningG591 evilG2556 for evilG2556 orG2228 8insultG3059 for insultG3059, but givingG2127 aG2127 9blessingG2127 insteadG5121; for 10you were calledG2564 for the veryG3778 purpose that you would 11inheritG2816 a blessingG2129. 10For, “12The oneG3588 who desiresG2309 lifeG2222, to loveG25 and seeG3708 goodG18 daysG2250, Must keepG3973 his tongueG1100 from evilG2556 and his lipsG5491 from speakingG2980 deceitG1388.1113He must turnG1578 awayG1578 from evilG2556 and doG4160 goodG18; He must seekG2212 peaceG1515 and pursueG1377 it.1214For the eyesG3788 of the LordG2962 are towardG1909 the righteousG1342, And His earsG3775 attend to their prayerG1162, But the faceG4383 of the LordG2962 is againstG1909 evildoersG2556G4160.”

1315And whoG5101 is 16there to harmG2559 you ifG1437 you proveG1096 zealousG2207 for whatG18 isG18 goodG18? 14But evenG2532 ifG1487 you should 17sufferG3958 for the sakeG1223 of righteousnessG1343, 18you 19are blessedG3107. 20And do not fearG5399 their 21intimidationG5401, and do not be in dreadG5015, 15but 22sanctifyG37 23ChristG5547 as LordG2962 in your heartsG2588, alwaysG104 being readyG2092 24to make a 25defenseG627 to everyoneG3956 who asksG154 you to give an accountG3056 for the 26hopeG1680 that is in you, but 27with gentlenessG4240 and 28respectG5401; 1629and keepG2192 a 30goodG18 conscienceG4893 soG2443 thatG2443 in the thing in whichG3739 31you are slanderedG2635, thoseG3588 who disparageG1908 your goodG18 behaviorG391 in ChristG5547 will be putG2617 toG2617 shameG2617. 17For 32it is betterG2909, 33ifG1487 34GodG2316 should willG2309 it so, that you sufferG3958 for doingG15 whatG15 isG15 rightG15 ratherG2228 thanG2228 for doingG2554 whatG2554 isG2554 wrongG2554.
