There are three categories of suffering in the Christian Way of Life (CWL).
• Self-induced misery (SIM) (Prov.14: 30; 27:4; Matt.6: 25-34).
• Divine discipline (D/D) (Heb.12: 5-12; 1 Cor.11: 28-32).
• Undeserved suffering (U/S) (1 Pet.2: 19-21; 3:15-17; 4:12-19).
Spiritually advancing believers of all dispensations have experienced undeserved suffering (righteous suffering) because of the angelic conflict (AC).
