15 But in your⁺ hearts sanctify Christ (the Anointed One) as Lord {Kyrion}. Always be prepared to give a defense to everyone who asks you⁺ the reason for the hope that is in you⁺. But respond with gentleness and respect,

16 keeping a clear conscience, so that those who slander you⁺ may be put to shame by your⁺ good behavior in Christ (the Anointed One).
