1 Peter 3:15-17 but sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts: being always ready for an answer to every one asking you a reason for the hope which is in you, but with meekness and fear:

Godbey⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ but sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts: being always ready for an answer to every one asking you a reason for the hope which is in you, but with meekness and fear: ¹⁶ having a good conscience, in order that, in whatsoever you are calumniated, those traducing your good deportment in Christ may be ashamed. ¹⁷ For it is better, doing good, if the will of the Lord should will it, to suffer, rather than doing evil.
