"Servants, be subject to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the narrow-minded. For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God. For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating?

For to this were you called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps," 1 Peter 2:18-21 WEB.
