15. (suffering for doing good (1Peter3:8-22)

(not sure ~ have to check again who owns this pic) 

be sympathetic, love one another
be compassionate and humble
do not repay evil with evil, or insult with insult
repay evil with blessing, to blessings they will result

turn from evil and do good
seek peace and pursue it,
the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
to their prayers His ears are attentive

who is going to harm you
if you are eager to do good?
do not fear threats, do not be frightened
in your hearts revere the Lord

it is better, if it's God's will
to suffer for doing good than for doing evil,
He was put to death to bring you to God
Christ also sufferred once for sins.

when asked for the reason for the hope that you have
this answer you should be prepared to give:
in the body He was put to death
but made alive in the Spirit.

    I wrote this because I want to be always reminded of the lesson from this scripture -- I guess that with 1000 verses in the queue, it would serve as a journal for me too :)

    see you in the emails ;)
