For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: There has never been an age--and ours is no exception--where Christians have come up against the ignorance of foolish men. These foolish men accuse Christians of not obeying the laws of the land. Peter says to deal with these slanderous accusations by "well doing":--that is, by living right regardless of what others may say.
