Do good, and suffer


After 1 Peter 2:18-25

It is inevitable, and 

time will come or

has already, that you

do good or you do

right and you suffer

as a result. Or you say

no, this is wrong. Or

you speak against

an evil committed or

contemplated. Even

an ungodly man 

might protest evil,

but it is the godly

man who counts 

the cost and protests

evil anyway. Faith

is suffering; the world

demands it.
