1 Peter 3:10, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Peter has just urged his readers to bless rather than repay insult with insult (verse 9), and he grounds that command by quoting Psalm 34:12-13. The word "For" ties the quotation to what precedes it: the psalm's wisdom shows why blessing, not retaliation, leads to life.
