1 Pedro 3:17

Listen to 1 Pedro 3:17
17 Porque melhor é sofrerdes fazendo o bem, se a vontade de Deus assim o quer, do que fazendo o mal.

1 Pedro 3:17 Meaning and Commentary

1 Peter 3:17

For it is better, if the will of God be so
For all things are ordered by the will of God, even all the sufferings and afflictions of the saints; and which is a reason why they ought to be patiently submitted to, and bore: and "better" it is, more honourable and profitable,

that ye suffer for well doing;
for believing in Christ, professing him and his Gospel, giving a free and open reason for so doing, and for exercising a good conscience, and living godly in Christ Jesus:

than for evil doing;
as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or a busy body in other men's matters, ( 1 Peter 4:15 1 Peter 4:16 ) .

17 Porque melhor é sofrerdes fazendo o bem, se a vontade de Deus assim o quer, do que fazendo o mal.
18 Porque também Cristo morreu uma só vez pelos pecados, o justo pelos injustos, para levar-nos a Deus; sendo, na verdade, morto na carne, mas vivificado no espírito;
19 no qual também foi, e pregou aos espíritos em prisão;
