Honour Christ and let him be the Lord of your life. Always be ready to give an answer when someone asks you about your hope. Give a kind and respectful answer and keep your conscience clear. This way you will make people ashamed for saying bad things about your good conduct as a follower of Christ.

The Lord watches over everyone who obeys him, and he listens to their prayers. But he opposes everyone who does evil.”

Don't depend on things like fancy hair styles or gold jewellery or expensive clothes to make you look beautiful. Be beautiful in your heart by being gentle and quiet. This kind of beauty will last, and God considers it very special.

“Do you really love life? Do you want to be happy? Then stop saying cruel things and stop telling lies. Give up your evil ways and do right, as you find and follow the road that leads to peace.

Finally, all of you should agree and have concern and love for each other. You should also be kind and humble. Don't be hateful and insult people just because they are hateful and insult you. Instead, treat everyone with kindness. You are God's chosen ones, and he will bless you. The Scriptures say

Can anyone really harm you for being eager to do good deeds?

Give up your evil ways and do right, as you find and follow the road that leads to peace.

You are better off to obey God and suffer for doing right than to suffer for doing wrong.
