Called for THIS purpose

__________________________________________________
Keep your behavior excellent among the [unbelievers], so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God...Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every [secular] institution...for such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men. Act as free men...honor all people, love [all] the [other believers], fear God, honor the emperor....be submissive to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and gentle, but also to those who are unreasonable. For this finds favor, if for the sake of conscience toward God a person bears up under sorrows when suffering unjustly For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure it with patience? But if when you do what is right and suffer for it you patiently endure it, this finds favor with God. For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you and example for you to follow in His steps....To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit; not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing...For it is better, if God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what is right....!!
