1 Peter 3:8-12 - Called To Inherit A Blessing

⁸ And, finally, all, being of one mind, having fellow - feeling, attached to the brethren, of tender affection, of lowly mind: ⁹ Not returning evil for evil, nor reviling for reviling, but, on the contrary, bestowing a blessing, - because, hereunto, have ye been called, in order that, a blessing, ye might inherit.

¹⁰ For, he that desireth to love, life, and to see good days, Let him cause his tongue to cease from mischief, and lips, that they speak not deceit; ¹¹ Let him turn away from mischief, and do good, Let him seek peace, and pursue it; ¹² Because, the eyes of the Lord, are towards the righteous, and his ears, unto their supplication, - Whereas, the face of the Lord, is against them that are doing mischievous things.
