1 Peter 3 — Context

10

For, He that would love life, And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips that they speak no guile:

11

And let him turn away from evil, and do good; Let him seek peace, and pursue it.

12

For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, And his ears unto their supplication: But the face of the Lord is upon them that do evil.

13

And who is he that will harm you, if ye be zealous of that which is good?

14

But even if ye should suffer for righteousness’ sake, blessed are ye: and fear not their fear, neither be troubled;

15

but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord: being ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear:

16

having a good conscience; that, wherein ye are spoken against, they may be put to shame who revile your good manner of life in Christ.
