Acts 17:22-31
1 Peter 3:13-22
John 14:15-21

Peter’s letter, this morning’s epistle, is written to Christians who are suffering for doing what is right. He tells them not to be intimidated, but in their hearts to sanctify Christ as Lord. Keep your conscience clear, he counsels, so that, when you are maligned, those who abuse you for your good conduct in Christ may be put to shame.
