19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. 20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God (1 Peter 2:19-20).
Being obedient toward God may bring about suffering and persecution. This calls for perseverance on the part of believers and should be expected when Christ is consistently followed. While suffering and persecution should be expected, it should not be sought. The truth is that suffering and persecution will find us regardless of our expectations and our command here is to simply be patient.
