1 PETER 3:11 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.”
They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it — the continuation of the Psalm citation emphasizes a four-step ethical reorientation: turning from evil (ekklinō apo kakou), doing good (agathopoieō), seeking peace (zēteō eirēnēn), and pursuing it (diōkō). The paired verbs suggest intensified commitment to peacemaking.
