1 Peter 3:10-12
New English Translation
10 For
the one who wants to love life and see good days must keep[a] his tongue from evil and his lips from uttering deceit.
11 And he must turn away from evil and do good;
he must seek peace and pursue it.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are[b] upon the righteous and his ears are open to their prayer.
But the Lord’s face is against those who do evil.[c]
