For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if, when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God.
but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently: True patience is not the dull reluctance of one who cannot avoid punishment: it is patient endurance when one, for the Lord’s sake, endures what is not his; and the one inflicting it may know that it is not (Matthew 5:44).
