1 Peter 4:12-19
121Beloved, do not be surprised at the 2fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though something strange were happening to you;
13but to the degree that you 3share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that at the 4revelation of His glory 5you may also rejoice and be overjoyed.
14If you are insulted 67for the name of Christ, 8you are blessed, 9because the Spirit of glory, and of God, rests upon you.
15Make sure that 10none of you suffers as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or a 1112troublesome meddler;
16but if anyone suffers as a 13Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to 14glorify God in this name.
17For it is time for judgment 15to begin 16with 17the household of God; and if it 18begins 19with us first, what will be the outcome for those 20who do not obey the 21gospel of God?
1822And if it is with difficulty that the righteous is saved, 23what will become of the 24godless man and the sinner?
19Therefore, those also who suffer according to 25the will of God are to entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing what is right.
