“But in your hearts set Christ apart [as holy—acknowledging Him, giving Him first place in your lives] as Lord. Always be ready to give a [logical] defense to anyone who asks you to account for the hope and confident assurance [elicited by faith] that is within you, yet [do it] with gentleness and respect. [Is 8:12, 13]” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭3‬:‭15‬ ‭AMP‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/1588/1pe.3.15.AMP
