Undeserved Suffering

13 And who will harm[a] you if you are deeply committed to what is good?[b] 14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness,(A) you are blessed. Do not fear what they fear(B) or be disturbed,(C)[c] 15 but honor[d] the Messiah[e] as Lord in your hearts. Always be ready to give a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason[f] for the hope that is in you.(D) 16 However, do this with gentleness and respect, keeping your conscience clear,[g][h](E) so that when you are accused,[i] those who denounce your Christian life[j] will be put to shame. 17 For it is better to suffer(F) for doing good, if that should be God’s will,[k] than for doing evil.

18 For Christ also suffered(G) for sins once for all,[l](H)
the righteous for the unrighteous,[m]
that He might bring you[n] to God,(I)
after being put to death in the fleshly realm[o](J)
but made alive in the spiritual realm.[p]
