¹⁹ For this is ^(A)commendable, if because of conscience toward God one endures grief, suffering wrongfully. ²⁰ For ^(B)what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God. ²¹ For ^(C)to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for ^[a]us, ^(D)leaving ^[b]us an example, that you should follow His steps:

¹³ but rejoice ^(A)to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that ^(B)when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.

⁹ I, John, ^[a]both your brother and ^(A)companion in the tribulation and ^(B)kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
