For, this, is thankworthy, - If, for the sake of conscience towards God, one beareth griefs, suffering wrongfully, -

For what sort of honour is it - if, committing sin, and being buffeted, ye endure it? But, if, doing good, and suffering, ye endure it, this, is thankworthy with God.

Who, being reviled, was not reviling again, suffering, he was not threatening, but was making surrender unto him that judgeth righteously, -

For it is, better, as well-doers, if it should please the pleasure of God, to be suffering, than, as evil-doers:

For let, none of you, be suffering as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as one prying into other men's affairs;

So then, let, them who are even suffering, according to the will of God, unto a faithful Creator, be committing their souls, in well-doing.
