1Peter:4:12-16
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Beloved ,
think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you ,
as though some strange thing happened unto you :
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Yet if any man suffer as a Christian ,
let him not be ashamed ;
but let him glorify God on this behalf .
