11And let him be turned from evil and do good; searching for peace and going after it with all his heart.
12For 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.
13Who will do you any damage if you keep your minds fixed on what is good?
14But you are happy if you undergo pain because of righteousness; have no part in their fear and do not be troubled;
15But 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;
16Being conscious that you have done no wrong; so that those who say evil things about your good way of life as Christians may be put to shame.
17Because if it is God's purpose for you to undergo pain, it is better to do so for well-doing than for evil-doing.
