1 Peter 4:12-19

12BelovedG27, do notG3361 be surprised atG3579 theG3588 fieryG4451 trialG3986 that has comeG1096 uponG1722 youG4771, as thoughG5613 something strangeG3581 were happeningG4819 to youG4771. 13ButG235 rejoiceG5463 thatG2526 you shareG2841 in theG3588 sufferingsG3804 of ChristG5547, so thatG2443 G2532 you may be overjoyedG5463 G21 atG1722 theG3588 revelationG602 ofG3588 HisG846 gloryG1391.

14IfG1487 you are insultedG3679 forG1722 the nameG3686 of ChristG5547, you are blessedG3107, becauseG3754 theG3588 SpiritG4151 of gloryG1391 andG2532 of GodG2316 restsG373 onG1909 youG4771.1 15IndeedG1063, none of youG4771 should sufferG3958 asG5613 a murdererG5406 orG2228 thiefG2812 orG2228 wrongdoerG2555, orG2228 even asG5613 a meddlerG244. 16ButG1161 ifG1487 you suffer asG5613 a ChristianG5546, do not be ashamedG3361 G153, butG1161 glorifyG1392 GodG2316 that you bear thatG3778 nameG3686.2 17ForG3754 it is timeG2540 for judgmentG2917 to beginG756 withG575 theG3588 familyG3624 of GodG2316; andG1161 ifG1487 it beginsG4412 withG575 usG1473, whatG5101 will theG3588 outcomeG5056 be for those whoG3588 disobeyG544 theG3588 gospelG2098 of GodG2316? 18AndG2532,

“IfG1487 it is hard forG3433 theG3588 righteousG1342 to be savedG4982,whatG4226 will become ofG5316 theG3588 ungodlyG765 andG2532 the sinnerG268?”3

19So thenG5620 G2532, those whoG3588 sufferG3958 according toG2596 God’sG2316 willG2307 should entrustG3908 theirG846 soulsG5590 to their faithfulG4103 CreatorG2939 and continueG1722 to do goodG16.
