1 Peter 3:8-15

8Finally, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, affectionate, compassionate, and humble.

9Do not return evil for evil or insult for insult, but instead bless others because you were called to inherit a blessing.

10For the one who wants to love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from uttering deceit.

11And he must turn away from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it.

12For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous and his ears are open to their prayer. But the Lord’s face is against those who do evil.

13For who is going to harm you if you are devoted to what is good?

14But in fact, if you happen to suffer for doing what is right, you are blessed. But do not be terrified of them or be shaken.

15But set Christ apart as Lord in your hearts and always be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks about the hope you possess.
