In Context

11 And let him avoid evil, and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it;

12 because the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears towards their supplications; but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

13 And who shall injure you if ye have become imitators of that which is good?

14 But if also ye should suffer for righteousness' sake, blessed are ye; but be not afraid of their fear, neither be troubled;

15 but sanctify the Lord the Christ in your hearts, and be always prepared to give an answer to every one that asks you to give an account of the hope that is in you, but with meekness and fear;

16 having a good conscience, that as to that in which they speak against you as evildoers, they may be ashamed who calumniate your good conversation in Christ.
