Be willing to change for the Lord’s sake.

Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be  courteous; not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing. For “He who would love life And see good days, Let him  refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit. Let him  turn away from evil and do good; Let him seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the  Lord  are  on the righteous, And His ears  are open  to their prayers; But the face of the  Lord  is  against those who do evil.” And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good? But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.” But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed. For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.  1 Peter 3:8-17 - NKJV
