1 Peter 3:13-15
1599 Geneva Bible
13 [a]And who is it that will harm you, if ye follow that which is good?
14 (A)Notwithstanding blessed are ye, if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake. [b]Yea, (B)fear not their [c]fear, neither be troubled.
15 But [d]sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, [e]and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you, with meekness and reverence.
