1 Peter 3:8-12, Paraphrase from The Message
"Summing up: Be agreeable, be sympathetic, be loving, be compassionate, be humble.
That goes for all of you - no exceptions. No retaliation. No sharp-tongued sarcasm.
Instead - bless. That's your job - to bless. You'll be a blessing as well as get a blessing.
Whoever wants to embrace life and see the day fill up with good, here's what you do: say nothing evil or hurtful, snub evil and cultivate good, run after peace with all you're worth.
God looks on all this with approval."
[That's the kind of life I want, so I guess that's the kind of person I want, and need, to be!]
