riversident - 1Peter:4:12-19

riversident@1Peter:4:12 @ Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery fury that is among you, which has come to try you, as if some strange thing were happening to you.

riversident@1Peter:4:13 @ But rejoice since to this extent you are sharing the sufferings of Christ, that when his glory is revealed you may rejoice and exult.

riversident@1Peter:4:14 @ If you are reproached for the name of Christ you are blessed, for the spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.

riversident@1Peter:4:15 @ No one of you must suffer as a murderer or as a thief or as a wrongdoer or as a meddler in other men's affairs.

riversident@1Peter:4:16 @ But if he suffers as a Christian he should not be ashamed, but should glorify God by that name.

riversident@1Peter:4:17 @ For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God. And if it begins first with us, what will be the end of those who disobey the good news of God?

riversident@1Peter:4:18 @ If the righteous is saved with difficulty, where will the godless and sinful appear?

riversident@1Peter:4:19 @ So then let those who are suffering according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing to a faithful Creator.
