(Spon- sored by Desert Messenger News) READER'S OASIS BOOKS 690 E. Main - Quartzsite (one block east of Family Dollar) PAID ADVERTISEMENT WHAT DOES THE WORLD SAY? WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY? 1 Peter 3:13-21 NASB95 13 Who is there to harm you if you prove zealous for what is good? 14 But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. And DO NOT FEAR THEIR INTIMIDATION, AND DO NOT BE TROUBLED, 15 but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence; 16 and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slan- dered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame. 17 For it is better, if God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what is right rather than for doing what is wrong. 18 For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit; 19 in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison, 20 who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water. 21 Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you-not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience-through the res- urrection of Jesus Christ, Dave Fiddament "Dave the Bible Reader" Gunny's Military Museum is a pri- vately owned collection of U.S. Military items.
