1 Peter 3:15
| ← 1 Peter 3:14 | 1 Peter 3:15 (KJV) | 1 Peter 3:16 → |
|---|---|---|
But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
|
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
|
Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
