Hebrews 11:33-38
33who through faith conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, obtained promises, astopped the mouths of lions, 34 bquenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong out of weakness, cbecame mighty in war, dput foreign armies to flight. 35 eWomen received back their dead by resurrection. Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, so that they might rise again to a better life. 36Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even fchains and imprisonment. 37 gThey were stoned, they were sawn in two, ▼▼Some manuscripts add they were tempted
ithey were killed with the sword. jThey went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, mistreated— 38of whom the world was not worthy— kwandering about in deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. 1 Peter 4:12-13
Suffering as a Christian
12Beloved, do not be surprised at lthe fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13But rejoice minsofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad nwhen his glory is revealed.
