1 Peter 3:10-12

New International Reader's Version

“Suppose someone wants to love life
    and see good days.
Then they must keep their tongues from speaking evil.
    They must keep their lips from telling lies.
¹¹ They must turn away from evil and do good.
    They must look for peace and go after it.
¹² The Lord’s eyes look on godly people, and he blesses them.
    His ears are open to their prayers.
But the Lord doesn’t bless those who do evil.” (Psalm 34:12–16)
