1 Peter 3:18

Suffer For Doing What Is Good

¹⁷ For it is better that you should suffer for doing right, if such be God's will, than for doing evil; ¹⁸ because Christ also once for all died for sins, the innocent One for the guilty many, in order to bring us to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit, ¹⁹ in which He also went and proclaimed His Message to the spirits that were in prison,
