1st Peter 3:12

9 Not giving back evil for evil, or curse for curse, but in place of cursing, blessing; because this is the purpose of God for you that you may have a heritage of blessing.

10 For it is said, Let the man who has a love of life, desiring to see good days, keep his tongue from evil and his lips from words of deceit:

11 And let him be turned from evil and do good; searching for peace and going after it with all his heart.

12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the upright, and his ears are open to their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.

13 Who will do you any damage if you keep your minds fixed on what is good?

14 But you are happy if you undergo pain because of righteousness; have no part in their fear and do not be troubled;

15 But give honour to Christ in your hearts as your Lord; and be ready at any time when you are questioned about the hope which is in you, to give an answer in the fear of the Lord and without pride;
