If you don't think that believers can do, "that which is good," then you might want to click off of this page before you read something God said. I hate to be a cause of rebellion.
For anyone who may choose to read this post, look for the phrase, "that which is good," in each passage, then ask God to help you apply these great truths to your heart and life.

15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
