This

For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure it with patience? But if when you do what is right and suffer for it you patiently endure it, this finds favor with God.

If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.

For conscience

But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not fear their

intimidation, and do not be troubled,

“Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know the One who sent Me.

Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.

For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day.

Suffering

“Behold, I know your thoughts,
And the plans by which you would wrong me.

Do not let those who are wrongfully my enemies rejoice over me;

Nor let those who hate me without cause

wink maliciously.

But my enemies are vigorous and strong,
And many are those who hate me wrongfully.

Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head;
Those who would destroy me are powerful, being wrongfully my enemies;

What I did not steal, I then have to restore.

All Your commandments are faithful;
They have persecuted me with a lie; help me!

In view of this, I also do my best to maintain always a blameless conscience both before God and before men.
