1 Peter 4:12-16 My beloved, do not think it strange at the trials that come upon you, as though some strange thing happened to you: because these things are to prove you.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² My beloved, do not think it strange at the trials that come upon you, as though some strange thing happened to you: because these things are to prove you. ¹³ But rejoice, for you are partakers of ChristÆs sufferings; and when his glory shall be revealed you may be glad also with exceeding joy. ¹⁴ If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you: for the glorious Spirit of God rests upon you. ¹⁵ But let none of you suffer the fate of a murderer, or a thief, or a malefactor. ¹⁶ If any man suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed: but let him glorify God through that very name.
