1 Peter 4:11-14
New King James Version
11 (A)If anyone speaks, let him speak as the [a]oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that (B)in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the [b]dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Suffering for God’s Glory
12 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; 13 but rejoice (C)to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that (D)when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. 14 If you are [c]reproached for the name of Christ, (E)blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. [d]On their part He is blasphemed, (F)but on your part He is glorified.
