For what credit [is it] if, [when you] sin and are beaten [for it], you endure? But if you endure [when you] do good and suffer [for it], this [finds] favor with God.

But even if you might suffer for the sake of righteousness, [you are] blessed. And do not be afraid of their intimidation or be disturbed,

For [it is] better to suffer for doing good, {if God wills it}, than for doing evil.

By all means do not let anyone of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler.

So then also those who suffer according to the will of God must entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing good.
