1 Peter 3:13-22 - Suffer For Doing What Is Good
13 And who is he that will injure you if you are followers of what is good? 14 But even if you suffer on account of righteousness, you are blessed. But fear not with their fear, neither be troubled; 15 and sanctify the anointed Lord in your hearts, and be always ready with a defense to every one that asks you a reason for the hope that is in you; but with meekness and fear, 16 having a good conscience, that in what they speak evil of you they may be ashamed who slander your good conduct in Christ. 17 For it is better to suffer doing good, if the will of God allows, than doing evil.
18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might lead us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit,
19 in which also he went and preached to the spirits in prison, 20 who were formerly disobedient when the long suffering of God waited in the days of Noah while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is eight souls, were saved by water. 21 The archetype of which, baptism, also now saves us, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience in God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who is on the right hand of God, having gone to heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.
