1 Peter 2:19-23

Murdock(i) 19 For there is favor before God for them who, for the sake of a good conscience, endure sorrows that come upon them wrongfully. 20 But they who endure afflictions on account of their offences, what praise have they? But if, when ye do well, they vex you, and ye endure it; then great is your praise with God. 21 For unto this were ye called; because the Messiah also died for us, and left us this pattern, that ye should walk in his steps. 22 He did no sin; neither was guile found in his mouth. 23 When he was reviled, be reviled not; and he suffered and threatened not, but committed his cause to the Judge of righteousness.
