Suffering for Right and Wrong
1 Peter 3:13-17
13 And who is he who will harm you if you become
followers of what is good? 14 But even if you should
suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “And do not be afraid
of their threats, nor be troubled.” 15 But sanctify
the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to
everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness
and fear; 16 having a good conscience, that when
they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ
may be ashamed. 17 For it is better, if it is the
will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.
