Kefa 1 3:11-16 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

11. "Let him turn away from resha and let him do that which is good, let him seek shalom and pursue it");

12. EINEI ADONOI EL TZADDIKIM V'AZNAV EL SHAV'ATAM ("Because the tzaddikim are before the eyes of Hashem and His ears are open to their tefillos." P'NEI ADONOI B'OSEI RAH L'HACHRIT ME'A'RETZ ZICHRAM ("But the face of the L-rd is against the ones doing evil to cut off their memory from the earth" TEHILLIM 34:13-17).

13. And who is the one harming you if you have kana'ut (zeal) for HaTov (The Good)?

14. But if indeed you should suffer tzoros because of Tzidkat Hashem, you are blessed and happy. But do not fear their pachad (terror), neither be troubled.

15. But reverence in your levavot Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach as Adoneinu, prepared always for a hitstaddekut (an apologetic defense) to everyone coming to you with a she'elah (question), ready with a word concerning the tikvah in you,

16. But with anavah (meekness) and yirat Shomayim, having a clear matzpun (conscience [3:21]), so that, when you are maligned by lashon hora, your abusers may be humiliated by your midas chasidus in Moshiach.
