Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
11 Let him turn away from evil, and do good. Let him seek peace, and pursue it.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, And his ears open to their prayer; But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."
13 Now who is he who will harm you, if you become imitators of that which is good?
14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness` sake, you are blessed. "Don`t fear what they fear, neither be troubled."
15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear:
16 having a good conscience; that, while you are spoken against as evildoers, they may be put to shame who revile your good manner of life in Christ.
17 For it is better, if the will of God should so will, that you suffer for doing well than for doing evil.
