What does the Bible say about suffering for doing good?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that suffering for doing good is commendable before God.

1 Peter 2:19-20 states that it is commendable for one to endure grief and suffering wrongfully for the sake of conscience toward God. The key distinction emphasized here is that such suffering is not a result of wrongdoing but happens when one acts rightly. This type of suffering is pleasing to God, as it reflects Christ-like qualities of patience and humility in the face of adversity. The Apostle Peter uses examples from Christ's own suffering, noting that as believers, we are called to endure hardships while maintaining our integrity.
