1 Peter 3:15-17
English Standard Version Anglicised
15 but (A)in your hearts honour Christ the Lord as holy, (B)always being prepared to make a defence to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and (C)respect, 16 (D)having a good conscience, so that, (E)when you are slandered, those who revile your good behaviour in Christ may be put to shame. 17 For (F)it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil.

15 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer(A) to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope(B) that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 16 keeping a clear conscience,(C) so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.(D) 17 For it is better, if it is God’s will,(E) to suffer for doing good(F) than for doing evil.
