1 Peter 4:12-14

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.
