1 Pedro 2:19

19 Porque es digno de elogio que, por sentido de responsabilidad delante de Dios, se soporten las penalidades, aun sufriendo injustamente.

1 Pedro 2:19 Meaning and Commentary

1 Peter 2:19

For this is thankworthy
Or "grace"; this is a fruit and effect of grace, an instance of it, in which it shows itself: the Syriac version adds, "with God"; and so it is read in one of Beza's copies, and in the Alexandrian copy, and some others; that is, this is grateful to God, and acceptable with him; as in ( 1 Peter 2:20 ) ,

if a man for conscience towards God;
or, "for a good conscience", as the Syriac version reads it; for acting according to his conscience, in matters of religion, in the things of God; "for the knowledge of God", as the Arabic version renders it; for the knowledge of God in Christ; for the Gospel of Christ, and a profession of it: or, "for God", as the Ethiopic version; for the cause of God and truth, and for the sake of things appertaining to God, and that make for his glory:

endure grief;
what occasions grief, as severe words, bitter reproaches, hard censures, and heavy blows; and that with patience, and without murmuring, and with resignation to the will of God:

suffering wrongfully;
there being no just cause for an ill look, word, or blow, to be given.

1 Pedro 2:19 In-Context

17 Den a todos el debido respeto: amen a los hermanos, teman a Dios, respeten al rey.

18 Criados, sométanse con todo respeto a sus amos, no solo a los buenos y comprensivos sino también a los insoportables.

19 Porque es digno de elogio que, por sentido de responsabilidad delante de Dios, se soporten las penalidades, aun sufriendo injustamente.

20 Pero ¿cómo pueden ustedes atribuirse mérito alguno si soportan que los maltraten por hacer el mal? En cambio, si sufren por hacer el bien, eso merece elogio delante de Dios.

21 Para esto fueron llamados, porque Cristo sufrió por ustedes, dándoles ejemplo para que sigan sus pasos.
