1 Peter 3:10-11 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:… 1. Because it is so pleasing to God. He is the God of peace; He gave His Son to make peace; and He loves that we should live in peace, and therefore gives us the gospel of peace and spirit of peace; yea, He so likes it that He pronounces them blessed that help it forward. 2. This shall be a sign that we are taught of God, and whereby our prayers will become the more acceptable (1 Timothy 2:8). 3. This is most comely (Psalm 133:3). 4. Great is the profit hereof. 5. If we live in peace, we are fit to do good to one another; else we can do no good, but evil. (John Rogers.)
