1 Peter 3:9-12 New English Translation (NET)

9. Do not return evil for evil or insult for insult, but instead bless others because you were called to inherit a blessing.

10. For the one who wants to love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from uttering deceit.

11. And he must turn away from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it.

12. For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous and his ears are open to their prayer. But the Lord’s face is against those who do evil.
