Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.
Wayne Grudem, from his commentary on 1 Peter:
In this one verse is summarized the teaching of the entire letter. Christians do not suffer accidentally or because of the irresistible forces of blind fate; rather, they suffer according to God's will. . . . Therein lies the knowledge that there is a limit to the suffering, both in its intensity and in its duration, a limit set and maintained by the God who is our creator, our savior, our sustainer, our Father.
