Suffering

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;

Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
