Verses 19. and 20. For this is thank-worthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. For what glory is it, if when ye be buffeted for your faults, you shall take it patiently? but if when ye do, well, and suffer for it, you take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

The Apostle applies the reasons to that part of the exposition which might be most doubted, and •o gives three reasons why servants should be subject even to evil Masters. The first is taken from the acceptation of such subjection with God, verses 19. and 20. The second is taken from their calling, verse 21. The third, from the example of Christ afterwards.
