## 1 Peter 3:14-15 in Context (Verses 11–18 KJV)
 
 [11 ](/kjv/1-peter/3/11) Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/1-peter/3/12) For the eyes of the Lord *are* over the righteous, and his ears *are open* unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord *is* against them that do evil.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/1-peter/3/13) And who *is* he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
 
 [14 ](/kjv/1-peter/3/14) But and if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy *are ye*: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
 
 [15 ](/kjv/1-peter/3/15) 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:
 
 [16 ](/kjv/1-peter/3/16) 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.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/1-peter/3/17) For *it is* better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/1-peter/3/18) For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
