just keep your mind focused on Christ as Lord. Always be ready to explain to anyone who asks you the reason for the hope that you have. Do this in a gentle and respectful way. Make sure your conscience is clear, so that if anyone makes accusations against you, they will be embarrassed for speaking badly about the good way you live your life in Christ.

For God sees those who do right, and he hears their prayers, but he opposes those who do evil.”

Don't focus on outward attractiveness—hairstyles, gold jewelry, or fashionable clothes— instead let it come from within, the lasting attractiveness of a gentle and peaceful spirit on the inside. That's what God values.

Remember: “Those who want to love life, and to see good days, must refrain from speaking evil, and not tell lies. Turn away from evil and do good; search for peace—run after it!

Finally, you should all have the same attitude. Be sympathetic and love each other. Be compassionate, and humble. Don't pay back evil for evil, or retaliate when you're abused, instead you should give a blessing—because that's what you were called to do, so you could gain a blessing yourself.

Who will harm you if you're keen to do good?

Turn away from evil and do good; search for peace—run after it!

It's certainly better to suffer for doing good (if that's what God wants), than to suffer for doing wrong!
