Since Jesus was a Priest, The Mosiac Law indicated the He was to be baptised at the age of 30 and this is why He told John that the fulfillment of all rightouswness was to be done.

Suffer is the key word.

Sorry, part of the text was missing in my previous letter; Please, reply me on this one;

I'm not native in English language, but still have a great desire to be able to understand each word, that belongs to Jesus Christ;
My question would be:
1 Corinthians 4:12 sentence ends like that ,,being persecuted, we suffer it"
In this case, ,,suffer it" means - "to bear" right?

I know, that "suffer" also means - "allow someone to do something" but, I think, "bear it to be so now" might be proper, also.

Please, help me understand. .

I wonder what the "righteous law of God" means. I am going to study that scripture more.
