Loving Life & Seeing Good Days

1 Peter 3:8-12

1 Peter 3:8-128 Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion

for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be

courteous; 9 not returning evil for evil or reviling for

reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you

were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing. 10 For,

“He who would love life and see good days, let him

refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking

deceit. 11 Let him turn away from evil and do good; let

him seek peace and pursue it. 12 For the eyes of the Lord

are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their

prayers; but the face of the Lord is against those who do

evil.”
