18Seruants, be subiect to your masters with al feare, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. 19For this is thanke-worthie, if a man for conscience toward God endure griefe, suffering wrongfully. 20For what glory is it, if when yee be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently: but if when yee doe well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. 21For euen hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for vs, leauing vs an example, that yee should follow his steps. 22Who did no sinne, neither was guile found in his mouth.
