베드로전서 3장 17-18절

 하나님께서 바라시는 뜻이라면, 선을 행하다가 고난을 받는 것이, 악을 행하다가 고난을 받는 것보다 낫습니다. 그리스도께서도 죄를 사하시려고 단 한 번 죽으셨습니다. 곧 의인이 불의한 사람을 위하여 죽으신 것입니다. 그것은 그가 육으로는 죽임을 당하시고 영으로는 살리심을 받으셔서 여러분을 하나님 앞으로 인도하시려는 것입니다. _새번역성경 

 善をおこなって 苦しむことは―それが 神の 御旨であれば―悪をおこなって 苦しむよりも、まさっている。キリストも、あなたがたを 神に 近づけようとして、自らは 義なるかたであるのに、不義なる 人々のために、ひとたび 罪のゆえに 死なれた。ただし、肉においては 殺されたが、霊においては 生かされたのである。 _口語訳 

For it is better, if God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what is right rather than for doing what is wrong.
For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;_ NASB 

 It’s better to suffer for doing good, if that’s what God wants, than to be punished for doing bad. That’s what Christ did definitively: suffered because of others’ sins, the Righteous One for the unrighteous ones. He went through it all—was put to death and then made alive—to bring us to God._The Message
