KJV ORIGINAL

Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
Look, there's nothing impressive about taking punishment when you actually messed up — that's just facing consequences. But when you're doing the right thing and people still come for you, and you handle it with grace? That's what God sees and values.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Getting hate for doing good hits different — and God notices when you stay steady through it.
