8 Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. 9 Do not repay evil
with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may
inherit a blessing.
13 Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? 14 But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are
blessed. “Do not fear their threats; do not be frightened.” 15 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared
to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness
and respect, 16 keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may
be ashamed of their slander. 17 For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.
1 Peter 3
