1 Peter 2:20-21

20For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But aif when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God. 21For bto this you have been called, cbecause Christ also suffered for you, dleaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.
