1Peter:3:8-22

acv@1Peter:3:8 @ And finally, all be like-minded, sympathetic, brother-loving, compassionate, friendly,

acv@1Peter:3:9 @ not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling, but instead giving praise, knowing that ye were called for this, so that ye might inherit a blessing.

acv@1Peter:3:10 @ For he who wants to love life, and see good days, let him restrain his tongue from evil, and his lips not to speak deceit.

acv@1Peter:3:11 @ Let him turn away from evil, and do good. Let him seek peace, and pursue it.

acv@1Peter:3:12 @ Because the eyes of Lord are toward the righteous, and his ears to their supplication, but the face of Lord is against men who do evil things.

acv@1Peter:3:13 @ And who is he who will harm you, if ye become imitators of the good?

acv@1Peter:3:14 @ But even if ye should suffer because of righteousness, ye are blessed. But do not fear their terror nor be shaken,

acv@1Peter:3:15 @ but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts. And always be ready for a defense to every man who asks you a word about the hope in you, with mildness and fear.

acv@1Peter:3:16 @ Having a good conscience, so that, in what they speak against you as of evil-doers, they may be ashamed, those who revile your good behavior in Christ.

acv@1Peter:3:17 @ For it is better to suffer doing good, if the will of God desires, than for doing evil.

acv@1Peter:3:18 @ Because Christ also once suffered for sins, a righteous man for unrighteous men, so that he might bring you to God. Having indeed been killed in flesh, but made alive in spirit,

acv@1Peter:3:19 @ in which also, having gone, he preached to the spirits in prison

acv@1Peter:3:20 @ who were disobedient formerly, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah who prepared an ark in which a few, that is, eight souls were saved through water.

acv@1Peter:3:21 @ Which counterpart--immersion--now also saves us, not the putting away of filth of flesh, but an appeal of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

acv@1Peter:3:22 @ who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, agents, and positions of authority, and powers having been subordinated to him.
