1 Peter 2:18-20

Revised Standard Version w/ Apocrypha RSVA

18 Servants, be submissive to your masters with all respect, not only to the kind and gentle but also to the overbearing.

19 For one is approved if, mindful of God, he endures pain while suffering unjustly.

20 For what credit is it, if when you do wrong and are beaten for it you take it patiently? But if when you do right and suffer for it you take it patiently, you have God's approval.

New International Version NIV

18 Slaves, in reverent fear of God submit yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh.

19 For it is commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because they are conscious of God.

20 But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.
