 If they beat you up and you're doing what is right and noble and excellent, you're blessed. Look at chapter 4, verse 14. If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed. You are blessed. Verse 16, if you suffer as a Christian, don't be ashamed, but in that name let him glorify God. You're blessed. Why? Because it pleases God. And when God is pleased, what does he do? He blesses.
