1 Peter 3:11-13

11 And he must turn away from evil and do good;
he must seek peace and pursue it.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are[a] upon the righteous and his ears are open to their prayer.
But the Lord’s face is against those who do evil.[b]

13 For[c] who is going to harm you if you are devoted to what is good?
