1 Peter 3:13-22 - Suffer For Doing What Is Good
13 And who will hurt you, if ye be imitators of Him that is good? 14 But if ye should even suffer for righteousness sake, happy are ye: and therefore be not afraid of their menaces, neither be troubled; but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: 15 and be always ready to answer every one that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you, with meekness and reverence: 16 having a good conscience, that whereas they speak against you as evil-doers, they may be ashamed who calumniate your good conversation in Christ. 17 For it is better (if it be the will of God) to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.
18 As Christ also once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust (that He might introduce us to God) being indeed put to death in the flesh, but raised to life by the Spirit:
19 by which also He went and preached to the spirits now in prison; 20 who of old were disobedient, when the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was preparing; wherein a few, that is eight souls, were saved by water. 21 The resemblance of which, even baptism, doth also now save us, (not the outward cleansing of filth from the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience towards God) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who is gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to Him.
