For what glory is it if you patiently endure while sinning and being buffeted? But if you suffer while doing good, and patiently endure, this is a grace from God.

But if you also suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed. And do not fear their fear, nor be troubled,

For it is better, if the will of God wills it, to suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing.

But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evildoer, or a meddler in the affairs of others.

Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing, as to a faithful Creator.
