²⁰ For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure? But if ^(A)when you do good and suffer for it, you endure, this finds favor with God.

¹⁵ Make sure that ^(A)none of you suffers as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or a ^[a](B)troublesome meddler; ¹⁶ but if anyone suffers as a ^(C)Christian, he is not to be put to shame, but is to ^(D)glorify God in this name. ¹⁷ For it is time for judgment ^(E)to begin ^[b]with ^(F)the house of God; and if it ^(G)begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those ^(H)who do not obey the ^(I)gospel of God? ^18 (J)And if it is with difficulty that the righteous is saved, ^[c]what will become of the ^(K)godless man and the sinner? ¹⁹ Therefore, those also who suffer according to ^(L)the will of God must entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing good.
