For how much credit is there ... while being afflicted?

Peter asks this question to emphasize that there is nothing praiseworthy about suffering for doing something wrong. Alternate translation: "For there is no credit ... while being afflicted." (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion)

while being afflicted

Here the word "afflicted" is a metonym for "punished." This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "while someone afflicts you" or "while someone punishes you" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive or rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy)
