Suffering as a Christian

12Beloved, do not be surprised at dthe fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13But rejoice einsofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad fwhen his glory is revealed. 14 gIf you are insulted hfor the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory ▼
