1 Peter 3:15-16ESV
15 but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, 16 having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.
The word translated here as reason is the Greek word logos, often translated as word. We reason with words. We think using language, just as we do to communicate with others.
Jesus is called The Word in John's gospel, for He expresses God's message to us. He is the reason for our hope, our anticipation of the glory to come.
