Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy...Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this manner...Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator...and when the Cheif Shepherd appears, you will recieve the crown of glory that does not fade away...But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
1 Peter 4:12, 13, 16, 19; 5:4, 10, 11
