“For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit.”
With regards to suffering for doing well, there is no better example than Christ. He suffered for my sins. I was dirty, worthless, and rebellious. I was most unrighteous. And yet, Christ, the righteous One, was put to death in the flesh in order to bring me me to God. I have not yet suffered to the point of shedding blood. I have never had my life threatened. I may. If I do, I hope that I can look to Christ who has done it already.
