1 Peter 4:12-16 Dear friends, do not be surprised that a test of fire is being applied to you, as though a strange thing were happening to you,

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² Dear friends, do not be surprised that a test of fire is being applied to you, as though a strange thing were happening to you, ¹³ but be glad that you are in a measure sharing the sufferings of the Christ, so that when his glory is revealed you may be triumphantly happy. ¹⁴ If you are being abused for the sake of Christ, you are blessed, because the glorious Spirit of God is resting upon you. ¹⁵ For no one of you must suffer as a murderer or thief or criminal or revolutionist, ¹⁶ but if a man suffers for being a Christian, he must not be ashamed of it, but must do honor to God through that name.
