1 Peter 3:10-12 [10]For, “Whoever would love life     and see good days must keep their tongue from evil     and their lips from deceitful speech. [11]They must turn from evil and do good;     they must seek peace and pursue it. [12]For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous     and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.” 1. Desires to Love Ephesians 4:15-16 [15]Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. [16]From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. 2. Seek and pursue it Ephesians 4:3-4,15-16 [3]Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. [4]There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; [15]Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. [16]From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. 3. Be the apple of the eye of the Lord Zechariah 2:8-9 [8]For this is what the Lord Almighty says: “After the Glorious One has sent me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye— [9]I will surely raise my hand against them so that their slaves will plunder them. Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me.
