Suffering as a Christian
12 Dear friends, do not be surprised by the fiery ordeal that is taking place among you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 Instead, because you are participating in the sufferings of the Messiah,[d] keep on rejoicing, so that you may be glad and shout for joy when his glory is revealed.
