1 Peter 3:13-22 - Suffer For Doing What Is Good
13 And who is he that will harm you, if you be followers of that which is good? 14 But yet, if you even suffer for righteousness, happy are you. Yet fear not their terror, nor be troubled: 15 but reverence the Lord God in your hearts, and be always ready to answer every one that asks of you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; 16 having a good conscience, that, inasmuch as they speak against you as evil-doers, they may be ashamed who traduce your good con duct in Christ. 17 For it is better, if such be the will of God, that you suffer for doing good, than for doing evil.
18 For Christ also once suffered for sins, the Just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, having been put to death in flesh, but made alive in spirit;
19 in which- also he went and preached to the spirits in prison, 20 who formerly were disobedient, when the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while an ark was preparing, in which few, that is, eight souls, were brought in safety through the water; 21 the likeness of which, even immersion, (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the seeking of a good conscience toward God,) does now also save us, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who has gone into heaven, and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having become subject to him.
