139And whoG5101 is 10there to harmG2559 you ifG1437 you proveG1096 zealousG2207 for whatG18 isG18 goodG18? 14But evenG2532 ifG1487 you should 11sufferG3958 for the sakeG1223 of righteousnessG1343, 12you 13are blessedG3107. 14And do not fearG5399 their 15intimidationG5401, and do not be in dreadG5015, 15but 16sanctifyG37 17ChristG5547 as LordG2962 in your heartsG2588, alwaysG104 being readyG2092 18to make a 19defenseG627 to everyoneG3956 who asksG154 you to give an accountG3056 for the 20hopeG1680 that is in you, but 21with gentlenessG4240 and 22respectG5401; 1623and keepG2192 a 24goodG18 conscienceG4893 soG2443 thatG2443 in the thing in whichG3739 25you are slanderedG2635, thoseG3588 who disparageG1908 your goodG18 behaviorG391 in ChristG5547 will be putG2617 toG2617 shameG2617. 17For 26it is betterG2909, 27ifG1487 28GodG2316 should willG2309 it so, that you sufferG3958 for doingG15 whatG15 isG15 rightG15 ratherG2228 thanG2228 for doingG2554 whatG2554 isG2554 wrongG2554. 18For 29ChristG5547 alsoG2532 30sufferedG3958 for sinsG266 31onceG530 forG530 allG530 time, the justG1342 for the unjustG94, soG2443 thatG2443 He might 32bringG4317 us to GodG2316, having been putG2289 toG2289 deathG2289 33in the fleshG4561, but madeG2227 aliveG2227 34in the 35spiritG4151; 19in 36whichG3739 He alsoG2532 wentG4198 and madeG2784 proclamationG2784 to the spiritsG4151 in prisonG5438, 20who onceG4218 were disobedientG544 whenG3753 the 37patienceG3115 of GodG2316 38kept waitingG553 in the daysG2250 of NoahG3575, during the constructionG2680 of 39the arkG2787, in whichG3739 a fewG3641, that is, 40eightG3638 41personsG5590, were broughtG1295 safelyG1295 throughG1223 the waterG5204. 2142CorrespondingG499 toG499 that, baptismG908 nowG3568 savesG4982 you--43not the removalG595 of dirtG4509 from the fleshG4561, but an appealG1906 to GodG2316 44for a 45goodG18 conscienceG4893--throughG1223 46the resurrectionG386 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, 2247whoG3739 is at the rightG1188 handG1188 of GodG2316, 48having goneG4198 into heavenG3772, 49after angelsG32 and authoritiesG1849 and powersG1411 had been subjectedG5293 to Him.
