For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. 1Pet 2:19
Here is a principle of righteousness that is not popular with those enamored of the world, but that spiritual men understand. The principle of suffering.
It should not come as a surprise. Our LORD said that if they persecuted Him, they would persecute us (John 15:20). The world had no love for Jesus, so it will not love us!
There will come times in a godly man's life when he will suffer for doing righteousness. And as Peter indicated, that is a blessed situation to be in. Then you truly are doing something to take note of! It is at that point that you truly are living like Christ.
