8 Finally, be all of one mind, be loving toward one another, be gracious, and be kind.
9 Do not repay evil for evil, or curse for curse, but on the contrary, bless, knowing that to this you are called, so that you may receive a blessing.
10 For “He who would love lifeand see good days,let him keep his tongue from evil,and his lips from speaking deceit.
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 on the righteous,and His ears are open to their prayers;but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
13 Who is he who will harm you if you follow that which is good?
14 But even if you suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. “Do not be afraid of their terror, do not be troubled.”
