1 Peter 3:12-15

New International Version

¹³ Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good?^{(B) 14} But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed.^(C) “Do not fear their threats^[b]; do not be frightened.”^{[c](D) 15} But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer^(E) to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope^(F) that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,
