1 Peter 3:12

10 For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.

11 He must turn from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it.

For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are inclined to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”

13 Who can harm you if you are zealous for what is good?

14 But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear what they fear; do not be shaken.”

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
