ACC ~ 1 Peter 3 v16

CONSCIENCE DEFINED. HILARY OF ARLES: Do not get angry or threaten anyone. Your conscience is the part of you which embraces what is good and which rejects evil. It is like the doorkeeper of a house which is open to friends and closed to enemies. INTRODUCTORY COMMENTARY ON 1 PETER.

PUT TO SHAME THOSE WHO REVILE YOU. BEDE: Act in such a way that those who revile you because they cannot see your faith and your hope for a heavenly reward may see your good works and be put to shame by them, because they cannot deny that what you are doing is good. For it is quite certain, my brothers, that those who despise your good behavior will be put to shame when the last judgment comes and they see you crowned along with Christ, while they are condemned along with the devil. ON 1 PETER.
