For the  one who wants to love life and to see good days,

let him keep his tongue from evil

and his lips from speaking deceit,

and let him turn away   from evil

and do what is good.

Let him seek peace

and pursue it,

because the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous  and his ears are open to their prayer.

But the face of the Lord is against  those who do what is evil.

1 Peter 3:10-12 CSB

This life of love and humility that is the family business we are inheriting, the walking in the light, Peter gives  another view to his readers who would've known this song he is quoting from - Psalm 34.

This Psalm tells us that what we say is important (it comes from the heart)

What we look at is important (shows our heart orientation)

What we do and what we seek is important (it shows our love for God and for people)

Peter gives another view, to make sure we get it. 

Get what's important.

This life of love and humility that we are called to, living before the face of God, it matters, and it matters how we live it.
