I Peter 3-Christian living and the Good Life

I love these first verses. I'm considering committing them to memory.

Be of one mind, having compassion for one another, love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous, not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, know that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.

Blessing means to speak well of, find ways to serve, pray for salvation or spiritual progress, expressing thankfulness, speaking well and desiring well being.

If you want to love life and see good days:
-refrain tongue from evil
-refrain lips from speaking lies
-turn away from sin and do good
-seek peace and pursue it
-pray

Who will harm you if you act in such a way? But even if someone does, you are blessed.

Always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks a reason for the hope in you with meekness and fear.
