Clement of Alexandria, on 1Pet 3:13

“And who is he that can hurt you, if you be zealous of good?”

“We have as a limit the cross of the Lord, by which we are fenced and hedged about from our former sins. Therefore, being regenerated, let us fix ourselves to it in truth, and return to sobriety, and sanctify ourselves; "for the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayer; but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil." And who is he that will harm us, if we be followers of that which is good?”
