9NotG3361 renderingG591 evilG2556 forG473 evilG2556, orG2228 railingG3059 forG473 railingG3059: butG1161 contrariwiseG5121 blessingG2127; knowingG1492 thatG3754 ye areG2564 thereuntoG1519 calledG2564, thatG2443 ye should inheritG2816 a blessingG2129. 10ForG1063 he that willG2309 loveG25 lifeG2222, andG2532 seeG3708 goodG18 daysG2250, let him refrainG3973 hisG846 tongueG3588G1100 fromG575 evilG2556, andG2532 hisG846 lipsG5491 that they speakG2980 noG3361 guileG1388: 11Let him eschewG1578 evilG2556, andG2532 doG4160 goodG18; let him seekG2212 peaceG1515, andG2532 ensueG1377 itG846. 12ForG3754 the eyesG3588G3788 of the LordG2962 are overG1909 the righteousG1342, andG2532 hisG846 earsG3775 are open untoG1519 theirG846 prayersG1162: butG1161 the faceG4383 of the LordG2962 is againstG1909 them that doG4160 evilG2556. 13AndG2532 whoG5101 is he that will harmG2559 youG4771, ifG1437 ye beG1096 followersG3402 of that which is goodG18? 14
ButG235 andG2532 ifG1487 ye sufferG3958 forG1223 righteousness’ sakeG1343, happyG3107 are ye: andG1161 beG5399 notG3361 afraidG5399 of theirG846 terrorG5401, neitherG3366 be troubledG5015; 15ButG1161 sanctifyG37 the LordG2962 GodG3588G2316 inG1722 yourG4771 heartsG3588G2588: andG1161 be readyG2092 alwaysG104 toG4314 give an answerG627 to every manG3956 that askethG154 youG4771 a reasonG3056 ofG4012 the hopeG1680 thatG3588 is inG1722 youG4771 withG3326 meeknessG4240 andG2532 fearG5401: 16HavingG2192 a goodG18 conscienceG4893; thatG2443, whereasG1722 they speak evilG2635 of youG4771, asG5613 of evildoersG2555, they may be ashamedG2617 that falsely accuseG1908 yourG4771 goodG18 conversationG391 inG1722 ChristG5547. 17ForG1063 it is betterG2909, ifG1487 the willG3588G2307 of GodG3588G2316 be soG2309, that ye sufferG3958 for well doingG15, thanG2228 for evil doingG2554. 18ForG3754 ChristG5547 alsoG2532 hathG3958 onceG530 sufferedG3958 forG4012 sinsG266, the justG1342 forG5228 the unjustG94, thatG2443 he might bringG4317 usG1473 to GodG3588G2316, being put to deathG2289 in the fleshG4561, butG1161 quickenedG2227 by the SpiritG3588G4151: 19
ByG1722 whichG3739 alsoG2532 he wentG4198 and preachedG2784 unto the spiritsG4151 inG1722 prisonG5438; 20Which sometimeG4218 were disobedientG544, whenG3753 onceG530 the longsufferingG3115 of GodG3588G2316 waitedG1551 inG1722 the daysG2250 of NoahG3575, while the arkG2787 was a preparingG2680, whereinG1519 fewG3641, thatG3778 isG1510, eightG3638 soulsG5590 were savedG1295 byG1223 waterG5204.
21The like figureG499 whereuntoG3739 even baptismG908 dothG4982 alsoG2532 nowG3568 saveG4982 usG1473 (notG3756 the putting awayG595 of the filthG4509 of the fleshG4561, butG235 the answerG1906 of a goodG18 conscienceG4893 towardG1519 GodG2316,) byG1223 the resurrectionG386 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547: 22WhoG3739 is goneG4198 intoG1519 heavenG3772, and isG1510 onG1722 the right handG1188 of GodG3588G2316; angelsG32 andG2532 authoritiesG1849 andG2532 powersG1411 being made subjectG5293 unto himG846.
