1 Peter 3:9 Context
7Likewise ye husbands, dwel with them according to knowledge, giuing honour vnto the wife as vnto the weaker vessel, and as being heires together of the grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered. 8Finally be ye all of one minde, hauing compassion one of another, loue as brethren, be pitifull, be courteous, 9Not rendring euill for euill, or railing for railing: but contrarywise blessing, knowing that yee are thereunto called, that ye should inherite a blessing. 10For hee that will loue life, and see good dayes, let him refraine his tongue from euil, and his lips that they speake no guile: 11Let him eschew euil and do good, let him seeke peace and ensue it.
