Riverside(i)
14 But if you should suffer for being righteous, you are blessed. Have no fear of them and do not be disturbed;
15 but exalt Christ as Lord in your hearts and be always ready to defend yourselves to every one who asks you to give account of the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence.
16 Keep a good conscience that, although you are slandered, those who misrepresent your good life in Christ may be put to shame.
17 For it is better to suffer, if that should be God's will, for doing good than for doing wrong.
