1 Peter 2:18-21

18 aServants, be subject to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the unjust. 19For this is a gracious thing, when, bmindful of God, one endures sorrows while suffering unjustly. 20For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But cif when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God. 21For dto this you have been called, ebecause Christ also suffered for you, fleaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.
