TSK · 1 Peter 3:11

¶ I. The Prologue(1:1-2:13)Job’s Good Life There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job. And that man was blameless and upright, one who feared God and turned away from evil.

And he said to mankind,‘The fear of the LORD– that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding.’”

Turn away from evil! Do what is right! Then you will enjoy lasting security.

Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, to the morally upright!

Through loyal love and truth iniquity is appeased; through fearing the LORD one avoids evil.

Wash! Cleanse yourselves! Remove your sinful deeds from my sight. Stop sinning!

so that you may be like your Father in heaven, since he causes the sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

For you will always have the poor with you, and you can do good for them whenever you want. But you will not always have me!

Then Jesus said to them,“I ask you, is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath or to do evil, to save a life or to destroy it?”

I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but that you keep them safe from the evil one.

For I do not do the good I want, but I do the very evil I do not want!

For the outlook of the flesh is death, but the outlook of the Spirit is life and peace,

For the kingdom of God does not consist of food and drink, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

Let the peace of Christ be in control in your heart(for you were in fact called as one body to this peace), and be thankful.

Do Not Reject God’s Warning Pursue peace with everyone, and holiness, for without it no one will see the Lord.

But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and not hypocritical.

Dear friend, do not imitate what is bad but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does what is bad has not seen God.
