The Responsibility of a Christian

• 1 Peter 38-12 
• (New International Version)
• Suffering for Doing Good
•  10For,    "Whoever would love life       and
  see good days    must keep his tongue from evil
        and his lips from deceitful speech.  11He
  must turn from evil and do good       he must
  seek peace and pursue it.  12For the eyes of the
  Lord are on the righteous       and his ears are
  attentive to their prayer,    but the face of
  the Lord is against those who do evil."a
