379 B

Why should the one who wants to love life stop his tongue from evil, and turn away from what is bad and do what is good?

Because the eyes of the Lord see the righteous [3:10; 3:12]

Instead of fearing what those who do evil fear or being troubled, what were the foreigners, the chosen ones, to do?

They were to set apart the Lord Christ as precious in their hearts [3:12; 3:15]
