1 Peter 2:18 in Context — 1 Peter 2
16 [Comportai-vos] como pessoas livres, mas não useis a liberdade como pretexto para a malícia. Em vez disso, [sede] como servos de Deus.
17 Honrai a todos: amai aos irmãos, temei a Deus, honrai ao rei.
18 Servos, sujeitai-vos com todo temor aos [vossos] senhores, não somente aos bons e brandos, mas também aos que maltratam.
19 Pois coisa agradável é se alguém, por causa da consciência a respeito de Deus, experimente dores, sofrendo injustamente.
20 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.
