7 In the same way you husbands must live with your wives with the proper understanding that they are more delicate than you. Treat them with respect, because they also will receive, together with you, God's gift of life. Do this so that nothing will interfere with your prayers.
8 To conclude: you must all have the same attitude and the same feelings; love one another, and be kind and humble with one another.
9 Do not pay back evil with evil or cursing with cursing; instead, pay back with a blessing, because a blessing is what God promised to give you when he called you.
10 As the scripture says,“If you want to enjoy lifeand wish to see good times,you must keep from speaking eviland stop telling lies.
11 You must turn away from evil and do good;you must strive for peace with all your heart.
12 For the Lord watches over the righteousand listens to their prayers;but he opposes those who do evil.”
13 Who will harm you if you are eager to do what is good?
