Suffering….for doing good?

¹⁶ keeping a clear conscience,^(A) so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.^{(B) 17} For it is better, if it is God’s will,^(C) to suffer for doing good^(D) than for doing evil. ¹⁸ For Christ also suffered once^(E) for sins,^(F) the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.^(G) He was put to death in the body^(H) but made alive in the Spirit.^{(I) 19} After being made alive,^[a] he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits^(J)—²⁰ to those who were disobedient long ago when God waited patiently^(K) in the days of Noah while the ark was being built.^(L) In it only a few people, eight in all,^(M) were saved^(N)through water, ²¹ and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you^(O) also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience^(P) toward God.^[b] It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,^(Q)22 who has gone into heaven^(R) and is at God’s right hand^(S)—with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him.
