Pope Saint Peter the Apostle (A.D. ?-64), or Simon Peter, born Simeon, was the first supreme pontiff and head of the Catholic Church, serving from the time of Christ until his death in A.D. 64. He was the first Bishop of Rome and wrote two books of the Bible.
But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or a wrongdoer, or a mischief-maker; yet if one suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but under that name let him glorify God.
Do not return evil for evil or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing.
For it is better to suffer for doing right, if that should be God's will, than for doing wrong.
