1 PETER 2:20-21
« 1 Peter 1 | 1 Peter 2 | 1 Peter 3 »
20 For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But if when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God. 21 For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.1 PETER 3:14
« 1 Peter 2 | 1 Peter 3 | 1 Peter 4 »
14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled,1 PETER 4:12-16
« 1 Peter 3 | 1 Peter 4 | 1 Peter 5 »
Suffering as a Christian12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. 14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler. 16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name.The ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version® copyright © 2001 by Crossway Bibles, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.
