*[[1Pe 3:8-18]] NET* v 8: Finally, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, affectionate, compassionate, and humble. v 9: Do not return evil for evil or insult for insult, but instead bless others because you were called to inherit a blessing. v 10: For the one who wants to love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from uttering deceit. v 11: And he must turn away from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it. v 12: For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous and his ears are open to their prayer. But the Lord’s face is against those who do evil. v 13: For who is going to harm you if you are devoted to what is good? v 14: But in fact, if you happen to suffer for doing what is right, you are blessed. But do not be terrified of them or be shaken. v 15: But set Christ apart as Lord in your hearts and always be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks about the hope you possess. v 16: Yet do it with courtesy and respect, keeping a good conscience, so that those who slander your good conduct in Christ may be put to shame when they accuse you. v 17: For it is better to suffer for doing good, if God wills it, than for doing evil. v 18: Because Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, to bring you to God, by being put to death in the flesh but by being made alive in the spirit.
