For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

Reason for subjection even to froward masters.

Thankworthy, х charis (G5485)] - (Luke 6:33.) A course out of the common: especially praiseworthy before God: not as Rome, earning merit; so a work of supererogation (cf. 1 Pet. 2:29).

For conscience toward God, х suneideesin (G4893) Theou (G2316)] - 'consciousness of God:' conscientious regard to God, more than men.

Endure, х hupoferei (G5297)] - bear up under.

Grief, х lupas (G3077)] - 'griefs.'
