“For it is better, if it is the will of God to suffer for doing good, than for doing evil.”

For what credit is it, if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God. For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an  example, that we should follow His steps. 1 Peter 2: 20-21
