1 Peter3:17
17 For it is better, if the will of God be so , that ye suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing.
Viz. That ye must suffer; intimating that this is an argument for their patience and submission in their Sufferings, and a ground of Comfort to them, that they are led into them by the Providence of God (nor by their own folly or rashness) and have him for a Witness and Judg both of their Cause and Deportment.
