1 Peter 3:8-10
Contemporary English Version
Suffering for Doing Right
8 Finally, all of you should agree and have concern and love for each other. You should also be kind and humble. 9 Don't be hateful and insult people just because they are hateful and insult you. Instead, treat everyone with kindness. You are God's chosen ones, and he will bless you. The Scriptures say,
10 (A) “Do you really love life?
Do you want to be happy?
Then stop saying cruel things
and quit telling lies.
