1 Peter 3:15 · American Standard Version

1 Peter 3:15 in context

  1. 13Now who will harm you if you become imitators of that which is good?
  2. 14But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “Don’t fear what they fear, neither be troubled.”
  3. 15But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts. Always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear,
  4. 16having a good conscience. Thus, while you are spoken against as evildoers, they may be disappointed who curse your good way of life in Christ.
  5. 17For it is better, if it is God’s will, that you suffer for doing well than for doing evil.
