12 and we ^alabor, working with our own hands. ^bWhen reviled, we bless; ^cwhen persecuted, we endure;

1 Peter 2:20-23

20 For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But ^dif when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God. 21 For ^eto this you have been called, ^fbecause Christ also suffered for you, ^gleaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. 22 ^hHe committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. 23 ⁱWhen he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, ^jbut continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly.

1 Peter 3:9

9 ^kDo not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, ^lbless, for ^mto this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing.
