1 Peter 4:12-19

MSTC(i) 12 Dearly beloved, be not troubled in this heat, which now is come among you to try you, as though some strange thing had happened unto you: 13 but rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's passions, that when his glory appeareth, ye may be merry and glad. 14 If ye be railed upon for the name of Christ; happy are ye. For the spirit of glory and the spirit of God resteth upon you. On their part he is evil spoken of: but on your part he is glorified. 15 See that none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or an evil doer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. 16 If any man suffer as a Christian man, let him not be ashamed: but let him glorify God on his behalf. 17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God. If it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them which believe not the gospel of God? 18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved: where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? 19 Wherefore, let them that suffer according to the will of God, commit their souls to him with well doing, as unto a faithful creator.
