1 Peter 3:13-17

13And who is he that will harm you, if ye are followers of that which is good? 14But if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are ye : and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; 15But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:1

16Having a good conscience; that, though they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good behaviour in Christ. 17For it is better, if the will of God is so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
