18Household servants, submitting yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the crooked.

19For this is grace: if someone endures sorrows while suffering unjustly because of consciousness of God.

20For what credit is it if, when you are sinning and being beaten, you endure? But if, when you are doing good and suffering, you endure, this is grace before God.
