Commentary on 1 Peter 3:13

Theological / Devotional

Harm you. Generally speaking, those who make it their business to do good to others are repaid in kind.

Followers. Textual evidence favors (cf. p. 10) the reading “zealous ones.” A life lived zealously in doing good to others will deprive unbelievers of any legitimate reason for falsely accusing and maltreating Christians (cf. Rom. 8:33-35). This does not mean that all opposition will disappear, however, for even Jesus was falsely accused and ill-treated. His followers can certainly expect no more favorable treatment than He received (see on John 15:20).
