Called to Care – Day 16

₁₃Who will harm you if you are eager to do what is good? ₁₄But even if you should suffer for doing what is right, how happy you are! Do not be afraid of anyone, and do not worry. ₁₅But have reverence for Christ in your hearts, and honour him as Lord. Be ready at all times to answer anyone who asks you to explain the hope you have in you, ₁₆but do it with gentleness and respect. Keep your conscience clear, so that when you are insulted, those who speak evil of your good conduct as followers of Christ will be ashamed of what they say. ₁₇For it is better to suffer for doing good, if this should be God's will, than for doing evil.
