1 Peter 3:11

Called To Inherit A Blessing

¹⁰ For "He who wishes to be well-satisfied with life and see happy days-- let him restrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from deceitful words; ¹¹ Let him turn from evil, and do good; Let him inquire for peace and go in pursuit of it. ¹² For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears are open to their supplication; but the face of the Lord is set against evil-doers."
