1 Peter 4:12-16 Beloved ones do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, for it comes upon you like a test, as though some strange thing were happening to you.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² Beloved ones do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, for it comes upon you like a test, as though some strange thing were happening to you. ¹³ As much as you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy. ¹⁴ If you are reproached for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. ¹⁵ Let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evildoer, or as a meddler in other people’s business. ¹⁶ If a man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this name.
