1 Peter 3:17 - Additional Comments

Suffering may come, either from righteousness or from doing evil. Suffering for doing evil we bring on ourselves. Suffering for doing good only happens if it is in God's will for us. What a better place to be - in the center of God's will! The center of God's will - the result is that God's kingdom will be enhanced, whether we suffer or not. How can we not glorify God for using us to enhance His kingdom!
