1 PETER 3:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.”
keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander — the maintenance of a 'good conscience' (syneidēsis agathē) becomes the basis for vindication: the slanderers will 'be put to shame' (kataischyn... hina..kataischy) by the undeniable evidence of Christian virtue.
