1 Peter 3 8-1 Peter 3 13
Now finally, all of you should be like-minded and sympathetic, should love believers, and be compassionate and humble,not paying back evil for evil or insult for insult but, on the contrary, giving a blessing, since you were called for this, so that you can inherit a blessing.For the one who wants to love life and to see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit,and he must turn away from evil and do what is good. He must seek peace and pursue it,because the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and His ears are open to their request. But the face of the Lord is against those who do what is evil.And who will harm you if you are deeply committed to what is good?

Bring Me a denarius to look at.”So they brought one.“ Whose image and inscription is this?” He asked them.“ Caesar’s,” they said.Then Jesus told them,“ Give back to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” And they were amazed at Him.
