1 Peter 3:14-16

21st Century King James Version

¹⁴ But if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are ye. “And be not afraid of their terror; neither be troubled.”

¹⁵ But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and be ready always to give an answer to every man who asketh you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear.

¹⁶ Have a good conscience, that, whereas they speak evil of you as of evildoers, they who falsely accuse may be ashamed by your good manner of life in Christ.
