1 Peter 2:19-21
Worldwide English (New Testament)
19 Maybe a person is punished when he has done nothing wrong. If he takes these troubles to please God, he does a very good thing.
20 What praise will you have if you take a beating when you have done something wrong? But when you do right and are punished, if you take it quietly, God is pleased.
21 You have been called to do this because Christ also was punished for you. He showed you what you should do. So do as he did.
