1 Peter 3:13-22 - Suffer For Doing What Is Good
13 And who is he that will harm you, if ye become zealous for that which is good? 14 But, if ye should even suffer for righteousness sake, happy are ye. But fear not their fear, neither be troubled; 15 but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts; ready always for an answer to every one who asks of you an account concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear; 16 having a good conscience; that, in whatever ye are spoken against, those who revile your good conduct may be put to shame. 17 For it is better, if the will of God should will it, that ye suffer for well-doing, than for evil-doing;
18 because Christ also suffered for sins once, a Righteous One in behalf of the unrighteous, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in flesh, but made alive in the Spirit,
19 in Whom, also, going, He preached to the spirits in prison, 20 who were once disobedient, when the long-suffering of God was waiting in the days of Noah, while an ark was being prepared, entering into which, a few, that is, eight, souls were saved through water; 21 which, in its anti-type, immersion, now saves you also (not a putting away of the filth of flesh, but the requirement of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 Who is on the right hand of God, having gone into Heaven, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.
