1 Peter 3:14 (RSV) states:

"But even if you do suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled."

In this verse, Peter assures Christians that suffering for doing what is right is not in vain. Instead of being discouraged, they should consider it a blessing because it is God's will and it brings divine favour. This echoes Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 5:10, where He said, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
