Haweis(i)
14 But if ye should even suffer for righteousness, blessed are ye: be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled,
15 but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be always ready with your reply to every man who demands a reason respecting the hope which is in you with meekness and fear:
16 keeping a good conscience; that whereas they malign you, as evil doers, they may be confounded who take pleasure in ridiculing your good conduct in Christ.
17 For it is better (if it be God's will) to suffer as well doers than as evil doers.
