1 Peter 3:10-12

10 For

“The one who wants to love life
and see good days
must keep his ^{▼▼*Literally “the”; the Greek article is used here as a possessive pronoun} tongue from evil
and his lips must not speak deceit.
11 And he must turn away from evil and do good;
he must seek peace and pursue it.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are open to their prayer.
But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil. ^{▼▼Verses 10–12 are a quotation from Ps 34:12–16}
