1 Peter 3:13-22 - Suffer For Doing What Is Good
13 Who is the one about to harm you, if you may be zealots of the good? 14 But if indeed you suffer for righteousness' sake, you are happy. Fear not their fear, neither be troubled; 15 but sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts: being always ready for an answer to every one asking you a reason for the hope which is in you, but with meekness and fear: 16 having a good conscience, in order that, in whatsoever you are calumniated, those traducing your good deportment in Christ may be ashamed. 17 For it is better, doing good, if the will of the Lord should will it, to suffer, rather than doing evil.
18 Because Christ indeed once died for our sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, indeed being put to death in the flesh, but quickened in spirit:
19 by which also having gone he proclaimed to the spirits in prison; 20 who at one time were disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, the ark being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls were saved through the water. 21 Which antitype baptism does even now save you, not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the seeking after a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ: 22 who is on the right hand of God, having gone up into heaven; angels and authorities and powers being subordinated unto him.
