1 Peter 3:14-17 But even if you should suffer on account of righteousness, you are blessed. "But do not fear their threats, nor be troubled."

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ But even if you should suffer on account of righteousness, you are blessed. "But do not fear their threats, nor be troubled." ¹⁵ But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be prepared with a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; ¹⁶ having a good conscience, so that in what they speak against you as evildoers, those reviling your good conduct in Christ may be put to shame. ¹⁷ For it is better to suffer for doing good, if it is the will of God, than for doing evil.
