"And who is he that will harm you, if ye be zealous of that which is good? "
— 1 Peter 3:13, American Standard Version
“And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?”
“Now who is he who will harm you, if you become imitators of that which is good?”
“For who is going to harm you if you are devoted to what is good?”
“And who is he that can hurt you, if you be zealous of good?”
“Who will do you any damage if you keep your minds fixed on what is good?”
“And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?”
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:
And let him turn away from evil, and do good; Let him seek peace, and pursue it.
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.
And who is he that will harm you, if ye be zealous of that which is good?
But even if ye should suffer for righteousness’ sake, blessed are ye: and fear not their fear, neither be troubled;
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:
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.
