SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY 1 PETER 3:8-14

Suffering for Doing Right

⁸ Finally, all of you should be in agreement, understanding each other, loving each other as family, being kind and humble.⁹ Do not do wrong to repay a wrong, and do not insult to repay an insult. But repay with a blessing, because you yourselves were called to do this so that you might receive a blessing. ¹⁰ The Scripture says,

"A person must do these things
To enjoy life and have many happy days.
He must not say evil things,
And he must not tell lies.
¹¹ He must stop doing evil and do good.
He must look for peace and work for it.
¹² The Lord sees the good people
And listens to their prayers.
But the Lord is against
Those who do evil." — Psalm 34:12–16

¹³ If you are trying hard to do good, no one can really hurt you. ¹⁴ But even if you suffer for doing right, you are blessed.
"Don't be afraid of what they fear;
Do not dread those things." — Isaiah 8:12–13

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-JASPER
