1 Peter 3:11 Context
9Not rendring euill for euill, or railing for railing: but contrarywise blessing, knowing that yee are thereunto called, that ye should inherite a blessing. 10For hee that will loue life, and see good dayes, let him refraine his tongue from euil, and his lips that they speake no guile: 11Let him eschew euil and do good, let him seeke peace and ensue it. 12For the eyes of the Lord are ouer the righteous, and his eares are open vnto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that doe euill. 13And who is hee that will harme you, if ye bee followers of that which is good?
