1 Peter 3:10-12 : 10 For “Whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit; 11 let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it. 12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
This passage is under the heading “Suffering for Righteousness’ Sake”.
Do we really suffer when we deny ourselves and become obedient to God? It would appear so in some people, especially myself.
