1 Peter 3:8-16

8Finally, be yeall of one mind, having compassion one for another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:1 9Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but on the contrary blessing; knowing that ye are called to this, that ye should inherit a blessing. 10For he that will love life, and see good days, let him restrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 11Let him turn away from evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and pursue it. 12For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.2 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:3

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.
