1 Peter 3:10-12

Common English Bible

those who want to love life
    and see good days
should keep their tongue from evil speaking
    and their lips from speaking lies.
¹¹ They should shun evil and do good;
    seek peace and chase after it.
¹² The Lord’s eyes are on the righteous
    and his ears are open to their prayers.
But the Lord cannot tolerate those who do evil.^[a]
