1 Peter 3:8-12

New Matthew Bible

⁸ In conclusion, be ye all of one mind, suffer with one another, love as brethren, be tender-hearted. Be mild and courteous – ⁹ not rendering evil for evil, nor rebuke for rebuke, but contrariwise bless, remembering that you are called to this, even so that you may be heirs of blessing. ¹⁰ If anyone longs after life and loves to see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile. ¹¹ Let him eschew evil and do good. Let him seek peace and pursue it. ¹² For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayers. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.
