1 Peter 3:13-22 - Suffer For Doing What Is Good
13 And who will do you harm if ye be imitators of him that is good? 14 But if ye should even suffer for righteousness, blessed are ye: be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled, 15 but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be always ready with your reply to every man who demands a reason respecting the hope which is in you with meekness and fear: 16 keeping a good conscience; that whereas they malign you, as evil doers, they may be confounded who take pleasure in ridiculing your good conduct in Christ. 17 For it is better (if it be God's will) to suffer as well doers than as evil doers.
18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, put to death indeed in the flesh, but raised to life by the Spirit:
19 by which also he went and preached to those spirits imprisoned; 20 who in time of old were disobedient, when the long suffering of God in the days of Noe waited, while the ark was preparing, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were preserved through the water. 21 The antitype to which baptism now saveth us (not the mere removal of filth from the flesh, but the engagement of a good conscience to God), by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: 22 who is at the right hand of God, gone into heaven, angels and dominations and powers being put in subjection under him.
