Blessing Givers Receive Blessing  

1 Peter 3:8-12 (NASB)
8  To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit;
9  not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing.
10  For, "THE ONE WHO DESIRES LIFE, TO LOVE AND SEE GOOD DAYS, MUST KEEP HIS TONGUE FROM EVIL AND HIS LIPS FROM SPEAKING DECEIT.
11  "HE MUST TURN AWAY FROM EVIL AND DO GOOD; HE MUST SEEK PEACE AND PURSUE IT.
12  "FOR THE EYES OF THE LORD ARE TOWARD THE RIGHTEOUS, AND HIS EARS ATTEND TO THEIR PRAYER, BUT THE FACE OF THE LORD IS AGAINST THOSE WHO DO EVIL."

13  Keep your tongue from evil And your lips from speaking deceit.
14  Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it.
15  The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous And His ears are open to their cry.
16  The face of the LORD is against evildoers, To cut off the memory of them from the earth.
17  The righteous cry, and the LORD hears And delivers them out of all their troubles.
