1 PETER 2:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.”
For it is commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because they are conscious of God — the assessment that enduring 'unjust suffering' (anikalōs paschantas, innocently suffering) 'on account of conscience toward God' (dia syneidēsin theou) is 'praiseworthy' (charis) establishes that suffering for conscience's sake has eschatological value. The consciousness of God transforms the meaning of persecution.
