"If, when you are beaten for your faults"
Text: 1 Peter 2:20
THE BEATING OF SLAVES
Slaves have no rights in the first century. They could not lodge a complaint at a magistrate’s court even if they were severely beaten. That was the sad plight and reality of slavery.
“For what credit is it if,
when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently?
But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently,
this is commendable before God.”
1 Peter 2:20
