1 Peter 3:9-11

Easy-to-Read Version

⁹Don’t do wrong to anyone to pay them back for doing wrong to you. Or don’t insult anyone to pay them back for insulting you. But ask God to bless them. Do this because you yourselves were chosen to receive a blessing. ¹⁰The Scriptures say,

“If you want to enjoy true life
    and have only good days,
then avoid saying anything hurtful,
    and never let a lie come out of your mouth.
¹¹Stop doing what is wrong, and do good.
    Look for peace, and do all you can to help people live peacefully.
