11 Let him turn away from evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and pursue it.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
13 And who is he that will harm you, if you be followers of that which is good?
14 But if you suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are you: and, Be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good behavior in Christ.
17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that you suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
