1 Peter 2:20

if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently Literally, if when ye are buffeted, being in fault, ye shall endure it. The common practice of Roman life, as of all countries in which slavery has prevailed, made the blow with the hand, the strict meaning of "buffeting" (Mark 14:65), or the stroke of the scourge, a thing of almost daily usage.

this is acceptable with God The Greek word is the same as that rendered "thankworthy" in the previous verse. It would obviously have been better, though "acceptable" expresses the sense fairly enough, to have retained that word here also.
