1 Peter 4

This chapter continues the discussion of suffering. He teaches that sometimes we suffer for doing what is right. He writes, "However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name." (VS. 16) Peter says that our response to the suffering we experience because of our faith should be this, "So then, those who suffer according to God's will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good."
