1 Peter 4

¹⁵ Indeed, none of you should suffer as a murderer or thief or wrongdoer, or even as a meddler.

¹⁶ But if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but glorify God that you bear that name.

¹⁹ So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should entrust their souls to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
