1 Peter 3:12-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 3
12
FOR THE EYES OF THE
Lord
ARE TOWARD THE RIGHTEOUS,
AND HIS EARS ATTEND TO THEIR PRAYER,
BUT THE FACE OF THE
Lord
IS AGAINST EVILDOERS.'
13
And who is there to harm you if you prove zealous for what is good?
14
But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. AND DO NOT FEAR THEIR INTIMIDATION, AND DO NOT BE IN DREAD,
15
but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always
being
ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, but with gentleness and respect;
16
and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who disparage your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame.
King James Version
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.
13
And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
14
But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
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:
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 3
12
because the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
and his ears are open to their prayer.
But the face of the Lord is against
those who do what is evil.
13
Who then will harm you if you are devoted to what is good?
14
But even if you should suffer for righteousness, you are blessed.
Do not fear what they fear
or be intimidated,
15
but in your hearts regard Christ the Lord as holy, ready at any time to give a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you.
16
Yet do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that when you are accused, those who disparage your good conduct in Christ will be put to shame.
New Living Translation
Chapter 3
12
The eyes of the
Lord
watch over those who do right,
and his ears are open to their prayers.
But the
Lord
turns his face
against those who do evil.'
13
Now, who will want to harm you if you are eager to do good?
14
But even if you suffer for doing what is right, God will reward you for it. So don’t worry or be afraid of their threats.
15
Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it.
16
But do this in a gentle and respectful way. Keep your conscience clear. Then if people speak against you, they will be ashamed when they see what a good life you live because you belong to Christ.
English Standard Version
Chapter 3
12
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are open to their prayer.
But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."
13
Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good?
14
But even if you should suffer for righteousness ' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled,
15
but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,
16
having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.
New International Version
Chapter 3
12
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
and his ears are attentive to their prayer,
but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."
13
Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good?
14
But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear their threats ; do not be frightened."
15
But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,
16
keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.
New King James Version
Chapter 3
12
For 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.”
13
And who
is
he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good?
14
But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake,
you are
blessed. “And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.”
15
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always
be
ready to
give
a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;
16
having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.
