Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. For,

"whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tounge from evil and his lips from deceitful speech. He must seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are righteous and his ears are attentive to prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."

1 Peter 3:8-12
