1 Peter 3:14-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ But if also you suffer any thing for justice' sake, blessed are ye. And be not afraid of their fear, and be not troubled.

¹⁵ But sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts, being ready always to satisfy every one that asketh you a reason of that hope which is in you.

¹⁶ But with modesty and fear, having a good conscience: that whereas they speak evil of you, they may be ashamed who falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
