12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial that has come upon you, as though something strange were happening to you.
13 But rejoice that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may also be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.
14 If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.
15 Indeed, none of you should suffer as a murderer or thief or wrongdoer, or even as a meddler.
16 But if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but glorify God that you bear this name.
17 For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who disobey the gospel of God?
18 And, “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”
19 So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should entrust their souls to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
