1 Peter 3:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: and the [a]face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
13 [b]And who is it that will harm you, if ye follow that which is good?
14 (A)Notwithstanding blessed are ye, if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake. [c]Yea, (B)fear not their [d]fear, neither be troubled.

- 1 Peter 3:14 A most certain counsel in afflictions, be they never so terrible, to be of a constant mind, and to stand fast. But how shall we attain unto it? If we sanctify God in our minds and hearts, that is to say, if we rest upon him, as one that is Almighty, that loveth mankind, that is good and true indeed.
- 1 Peter 3:14 Be not dismayed as they are.
