1 Peter 4:12-16
12
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
13
But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
14
If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
15
But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.
16
Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
