be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you

[VictoryinJesus]

Psalm 119:41-43 Let thy mercies come also unto me, O Lord, even thy salvation, according to thy word. [42] So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word. [43] And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.

Psalm 119:42 Lexicon: So I will have an answer for him who reproaches me, For I trust in Your word.



1 Peter 3:15-16 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.

 

[tsr]

Always be ready to give an answer when someone asks you about your hope. But have reverence for Christ in your hearts, and honor him as Lord. Be ready at all times to answer anyone who asks you to explain the hope you have in you, but honor the Messiah as Lord in your hearts.

My answer to Theistic Evolutionists is that they can't call themselves Bible-believers, and to direct them to Romans 5 and 1Corinthians 15.
