1Peter:3:14-18

*
But and if ye suffer (
5722 )
for righteousness sake ,
happy are ye :
and be not afraid (
5676 )
of their terror ,
neither be troubled (
5686 );
*
But sanctify (
5657 )
the Lord God in your hearts :
and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh (
5723 )
you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear :
*
Having (
5723 )
a good conscience ;
that ,
whereas they speak evil (
5725 )
of you ,
as of evildoers ,
they may be ashamed (
5686 )
that falsely accuse (
5723 )
your good conversation in Christ .
*
For it is better ,
if the will of God be so (
5719 ),
that ye suffer (
5721 )
for well doing (
5723 ),
than for evil doing (
5723 ).
*
For Christ also hath once suffered (
5627 )
for sins ,
the just for the unjust ,
that he might bring (
5632 )
us to God ,
being put to death (
5772 )
in the flesh ,
but quickened (
5685 )
by the Spirit :
