ACC ~ 1 Peter 3 v14

BLESSING OUT OF SUFFERING. CHRYSOSTOM: No one can harm a person who does not do evil himself. Peter shows that trials which come from the Gentiles cannot harm those who live according to virtue. On the contrary, they turn those who endure them into blessed people. CATENA.

YOU WILL BE BLESSED. BEDE: Not only does Peter say that believers will not suffer any harm for being persecuted, but they will even be blessed. Here he repeats what Jesus said: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” ON 1 PETER.
