1 Peter 2:19

For this is commendable, if a man for conscience toward God endures grief, suffering wrongfully.
Read Chapter 2

George Leo Haydock

AD 1849
Take notice that this is praiseworthy, an effect of God's grace, a thing acceptable to God, when you suffer injuries patiently; whereas it is no glory, nothing that deserves commendation or reward, either before God or man, to suffer for doing ill, as a malefactor, who deserves punishments. But it is glorious and meritorious for you to suffer as Christians, and for the Christian faith: be not then ashamed to suffer in this manner. These sufferings are marks of God's favour towards you, and you have the example of Christ, which you must imitate. (Witham)

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation - 2 Peter 1:20
