1 Peter 2:20-22
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
20 But what credit is there if you are patient when beaten for doing wrong? But if you are patient when you suffer for doing what is good, this is a grace before God. 21 For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered[a] for you, leaving you an example that you should follow in his footsteps.(A)
