1 Peter 4:12-16 Beloved, do not be surprised by the fiery trial among you, taking place to test you, as though some strange thing was happening to you;

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² Beloved, do not be surprised by the fiery trial among you, taking place to test you, as though some strange thing was happening to you; ¹³ but inasmuch as you partake in the sufferings of Christ, rejoice, in order that also at the unveiling of His glory, you may rejoice with great happiness. ¹⁴ If you are reviled in the name of Christ, blessed are you, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On the one hand He is blasphemed, but on the other He is glorified. ¹⁵ For let not anyone of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evildoer, or as a meddler in other people's affairs; ¹⁶ but if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be put to shame, but let him glorify God in this matter.
