1 Peter 3:13-17

Revised Geneva Translation

¹³ And who is it that will harm you if you follow that which is good?

¹⁴ But if you suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. And “do not fear their terror, nor be troubled.”

¹⁵ But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give an answer - with humility and respect - to everyone who asks you the Reason for the hope that is in you;

¹⁶ having a good conscience, so that when they falsely accuse you as evildoers, those who slander your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.

¹⁷ For it is better (if it is the will of God) to suffer for doing good rather than evil.
