1 Peter 2:20

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

How is it to your credit if you are beaten for doing wrong and you endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if, when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God.

For{G1063} what{G4169} glory{G2811} is it, if{G1487}, when{G2532} ye be buffeted{G2852}{(G5746)} for your faults{G264}{(G5723)}, ye shall take it patiently{G5278}{(G5692)}? but{G235} if{G1487}, when ye do well{G15}{(G5723)}, and{G2532} suffer{G3958}{(G5723)} for it, ye take it patiently{G5278}{(G5692)}, this{G5124} is acceptable{G5485} with{G3844} God{G2316}.
Strong's King James
(20) For what's your credit if you deviate and you endure a beating? Yet, if you do what's good and suffer with endurance, this is favourable grace with אֱלֹהִים Elohim.
The F.O.G*
[20] After all, there's no special credit when you patiently endure punishment for doing wrong. But if you suffer for doing good and endure it patiently, this finds favor with God.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
for what renown is it, if sinning and being buffeted, ye do endure it? but if, doing good and suffering for it, ye do endure, this is gracious with God,
