SCRIPTURE:
1 Peter 3:14-16 (King James Version)
14But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
15But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer t...o every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

16Having 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.


1 Peter 3:14-16 (New International Version, ©2011)

14 But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear their threats[a]; do not be frightened.”[b] 15 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared... to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 16 keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.

PLEASE NOTE:

POINTING OUT THIS VIDEO CLIP AS A WAY OF HOW N O T TO SHARE YOUR FAITH, DOEN NOT MEAN:

that I endorse Lady Gaga's behaviour, judge the witnessing of the faithful, or think I know beter.

I am saying that God's Word (The Bible) teach Christians to witness to others in a respectful and loving way, which this video is not an example of, rather the witnessing was condescending, judgemental, loveless.

If you truly love your brother / sister, you should first show them that, then attempt to minister to them in such a way that your actions will want them to be a Christian like you, i.e. to be more like Christ.
