1 Peter Chapter 3:3
Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

1 Peter Chapter 3:10
For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
1 Peter Chapter 3:11
Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
1 Peter Chapter 3:12
For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

1 Peter Chapter 3:15
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
1 Peter Chapter 3:16
Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
1 Peter Chapter 3:17
For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
1 Peter Chapter 3:18
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
