Please help me find this Bible verse!!?

I'm looking for a verse about how we should give people nothing bad to say about us, except to say that we follow Jesus... or something about being persecuted for doing right in the eyes of God... can anyone help me?

I think one is in Acts, but I know there's multiple verses on that sort of topic.

Thank you so much!!

    1Pe 3:14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;

    1Pe 3:15 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:

    1Pe 3:16 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.

    1Pe 3:17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.

    "For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men— "

    I Peter 2:15

    "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."

    I Peter 3:13-17

    He that says he is in the light and yet hates his brother is in the darkness up to right now. He that loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in his case. But he that hates his brother is in the darkness and is walking in the darkness, and he does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
