“For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death on the flesh but made alive by the Spirit.” (1 Peter 3:18, NKJV)

Jesus Christ is the perfect example for those who suffer for doing good. Jesus who was perfect died for sinners to bring them to God. He suffered the consequence for their sins which is death.

But he triumphed over death. Instead of being bound by the forces that lead to death, his spirit entered in fuller life. In view of this, believers must be ready to suffer for doing good.
