1 Peter 3:15-17

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁵ but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and be ready always to respond to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and reverence,

¹⁶ ¶ having a good conscience, so in that which they murmur against you as of evildoers, those that blaspheme your good conversation in the Christ may be confused.

¹⁷ For it is better (if the will of God so desires) that ye suffer for doing good than for doing evil.
