But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.

But suppose you receive a beating for doing wrong, and you put up with it. Will anyone honor you for this? Of course not. But suppose you suffer for doing good, and you put up with it. God will praise you for this.

For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But if when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God.

Of course, you get no credit for being patient if you are beaten for doing wrong. But if you suffer for doing good and endure it patiently, God is pleased with you.

For what credit is there if when you do wrong and are beaten, you endure it? But when you do what is good and suffer, if you endure it, this brings favor with God.

For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure it with patience? But if when you do what is right and suffer for it you patiently endure it, this finds favor with God.

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 what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted for it, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye shall take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

For what credit is there if you sin and are punished, and you endure it? But when you do what is good and suffer, if you endure it, this brings favor with God.

For what credit is it if you sin and are mistreated and endure it? But if you do good and suffer and so endure, this finds favor with God.

緣有對上帝之良、雖受枉而忍憂、則見納矣、

若為上帝之旨、則爾行善受苦、愈於行惡受苦矣、

為義而見窘逐者福矣、以天國為其有也、為我而人詬爾窘爾、妄以諸惡誣爾、爾福矣、宜欣喜歡樂、以爾在天之賞大也、蓋前乎爾之先知、人亦如是窘逐之、○

若因義受苦、則福矣、勿畏其威、勿為所撼、

若為基督名見詬、則福矣、蓋上帝有榮之神止於爾、爾中勿因兇殺、竊盜、惡行、妄預、而受苦、惟因為基督徒而受苦、則毋愧、乃緣此名歸榮上帝也、

迄今我儕飢渴、裹體受撻、靡有定處、

爾若愛乎愛爾者、何惠之有、蓋罪人亦愛乎愛己者、

宜審主之所悅、

遂唾其面、拳擊之、有手批之者、曰、

爾惟問安於兄弟、有何過人耶、異邦人不亦然乎、

我有諸物、充溢矣、饒足矣、蓋由以巴弗提受爾來物、為馨香可納之祭、乃上帝所悅者、

或唾之、且掩其面、以拳擊之、曰、爾試預言焉、諸隸執而批之、○

兄弟乎、緣此我以上帝之憐憫、勸爾獻身為生祭、聖而見悅於上帝、乃爾當然之崇事也、勿同世態、惟以心之更新而變化、致驗上帝旨、乃善而可悅、且純全者也、○
