For this is acceptable, if, for conscience toward God, one endures griefs, suffering wrongfully. For what glory is it, if, when sinning and being beaten, ye endure it? but, if, when doing well and suffering for it, ye endure it, this is acceptable with God.

For, as sheep, ye were going astray; but now ye returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
