10For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, athat we may share his holiness.

1 Peter 4:12-19

Suffering as a Christian

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

and of God rests upon you.
15But hlet none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or ias a meddler. 16Yet jif anyone suffers as a kChristian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God lin that name. 17For it is time for judgment mto begin at the household of God; and nif it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who odo not obey the gospel of God? 18And

pIf the righteous is scarcely saved,
what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”

19Therefore let those who suffer according to God’s will rentrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.
