For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

1 Peter 3:8-17

Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. 

Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech.

But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. 

Why?

1)be like-minded, 2)be sympathetic, 3) love one another, 4) be compassionate 5) humble

Repay evil with blessing, because we are called to inherit a blessing.

Keep our tongue from evil, and lips from deceitful speech. This is the way to protect ourselves to be peaceful.

prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that I have. Let others know the reason for the hope I have. This is a real witness to the Lord.

How?

Doing good to attract others is better than tongue only.
