Suffering for Doing Good

¹³ Now, who will want to harm you if you are eager to do good?

¹⁵ See that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to all people.

²⁸ And we know that God causes everything to work together^[a] for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

¹¹ Dear friend, don’t let this bad example influence you. Follow only what is good. Remember that those who do good prove that they are God’s children, and those who do evil prove that they do not know God.^[a]
