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.

For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted for it, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye shall take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

What credit can you claim when, after doing wrong, you take your punishment for it patiently? But, on the other hand, if, after doing right, you take your sufferings patiently, that does win the approval of God.

Denn was für ein Ruhm ist es, wenn ihr ausharret, indem ihr sündiget und geschlagen werdet? Wenn ihr aber ausharret, indem ihr Gutes tut und leidet, das ist wohlgefällig bei Gott.

Porque ¿qué gloria es, si pecando vosotros sois abofeteados, y lo sufrís? mas si haciendo bien sois afligidos, y lo sufrís, esto ciertamente es agradable delante de Dios.

Afinal, que mérito há em suportar serdes espancados por cometerdes pecado? Contudo, se, quando fazeis o bem, sois afligidos e suportais, isso é a Deus.

Portanto, que glória há se suportais a devida punição por um pecado cometido? Mas, se, fazendo o bem, sofreis, isto é louvável diante de Deus.
