Matthew 3:15 KJV
Jesus said, ‘For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.’ Now even hereunto were we called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that we should follow his steps. Whoever saith they abide in Him ought also so to walk, even as He walked.
Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
and walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
1 Thessalonians 5:14-15 KJV
And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
1 Peter 3:13 KJV
