for to this ye were called, because Christ also did suffer for you, leaving to you an example, that ye may follow his steps,

but if ye also should suffer because of righteousness, happy are ye! and of their fear be not afraid, nor be troubled,

for it is better doing good, if the will of God will it, to suffer, than doing evil;

because also Christ once for sin did suffer -- righteous for unrighteous -- that he might lead us to God, having been put to death indeed, in the flesh, and having been made alive in the spirit,

Christ, then, having suffered for us in the flesh, ye also with the same mind arm yourselves, because he who did suffer in the flesh hath done with sin,

for let none of you suffer as a murderer, or thief, or evil-doer, or as an inspector into other men's matters;
