1 Peter 3:15 in Context — 1 Peter 3
13 E quem vos fará mal se fordes adeptos do bem?
14 Porém, mesmo se sofrerdes por causa da justiça, benditos sois. Não tenhais medo deles, nem vos perturbeis.
15 Mas santificai a Deus como Senhor em vossos corações; e estai sempre preparados para responder com mansidão e respeito a todo aquele que vos pedir a razão da esperança que há em vós,
16 tendo uma boa consciência; para que, naquilo que falam mal de vós como malfeitores, os que insultam o vosso bom comportamento em Cristo sejam envergonhados.
17 Pois é melhor que sofrais fazendo o bem, se [assim] a vontade de Deus quer, do que fazendo o mal.
