1 Peter 2:20 For what sort of credible report (honorable rumor; credit; fame; praiseworthy reputation) is it if, being ones habitually doing what is wrong (failing to hit the target; sinning) and being repeatedly beaten and struck with a fist & other MSS: repeatedly lopped-off and pruned p, you folks will continue & other MSS read: you are constantly p remaining under and enduring it? But to the contrary, if while habitually practicing virtue (doing good; constructing excellence) and at the same time repeatedly experiencing such bad treatment (or: continually suffering) you will continue reads: you are constantly p humbly remaining under, enduring and supporting it, this is grace at the side of (or: from beside; = in the presence of) God,
