1 Peter 3:9-12

A 9 not returning evil for evil 

B  or reviling for reviling,

A’  but on the contrary blessing for evil,

B’  and [blessing for reviling],

C  knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.  10 For “He who would love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.  11Let him turn away from evil and do good; Let him seek peace and pursue it. 12For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayers; But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
