1 Peter 3:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 (A)[a]For if any man long after life, and to [b]see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile.
11 (B)Let him eschew evil and do good: let him seek peace and follow after it.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: and the [c]face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

(Nay saith the Apostle by the words of David) to live without doing hurt, and to follow after peace when it fleeth away, is the way to the happy and quiet peace. And if so be any man be afflicted for doing justly, the Lord maketh all things, and will in his time deliver the godly, which cry unto him, and will destroy the wicked.
- 1 Peter 3:10 Lead a blessed and happy life.
