Any bible passages that deal with doing what is right, even when others disagree with it?
This isn't a bible verse, but this is what I am getting at; "Stand up for what is right, even if you stand alone... "
Lots. Religion is a very personal thing. I personally like Pslams 13. Its very deep and meaningful. Also the lords prayer its great to.
The book of Daniel comes to mind. Read Chapters 1-3.
"Thou shalt not follow the multitude to do evil: neither shalt thou yield in judgement, to the opinion of the most part, to stray from the truth." (Exodus 23:2)
you hit the nail on the head

I like these verses-
1Pe 3:12- For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.
1Pe 3:13- Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good?
1Pe 3:14- But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear what they fear; do not be frightened."
1Pe 3:15- But in your hearts set apart 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,
1Pe 3:16- keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.
1Pe 3:17- It is better, if it is God's will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.
The stoning of Stephen comes to mind.
