Suffering for Right and Wrong

13 aAnd who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good?  
14 aBut even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. b“And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.”  
15 But1 sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always abe ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the bhope that is in you, with meekness and fear;  
16 ahaving a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.  
17 For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

Christ’s Suffering and Ours

18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring1 us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit,  
19 by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison,
20 who formerly were disobedient,1 when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.  
21 aThere is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism b(not the removal of the filth of the flesh, cbut the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,  
22 who has gone into heaven and ais at the right hand of God, bangels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.
