1 Peter 2:18 in Context — 1 Peter 2
16 Como libres, y no como teniendo la libertad por cobertura de malicia, sino como siervos de Dios.
17 Honrad á todos. Amad la fraternidad. Temed á Dios. Honrad al rey.
18 Siervos, sed sujetos con todo temor á vuestros amos; no solamente á los buenos y humanos, sino también á los rigurosos.
19 Porque esto es agradable, si alguno á causa de la conciencia delante de Dios, sufre molestias padeciendo injustamente.
20 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.
