1 Peter 4:12–19

¹²Beloved, ^sthink it not strange concerning ^tthe fiery trial ^uwhich is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: ¹³but ^vrejoice, inasmuch as ^wye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, ^xwhen his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. ¹⁴If ye be ^yreproached ^zfor the name of Christ, ^yahappy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: ^bon their part ^che is evil spoken of, but on your part ^dhe is glorified. ¹⁵But ^alet none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as ^ban evildoer, or as ^ea busybody in other men’s matters. ¹⁶Yet if any man suffer as ^fa Christian, let him not be ashamed; but ^glet him glorify God ^hon this behalf. ¹⁷For the time is come that ⁱjudgment must begin at ^kthe house of God: and ^lif it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that ^mobey not the gospel of God? ¹⁸And ⁿif the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall ^othe ungodly and ^othe sinner appear? ¹⁹Wherefore let them that suffer according to ^pthe will of God ^qcommit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful ^rCreator.
