Sharing the Suffering of Christ
12 (A)Beloved, do not be surprised at the (B)fiery trial among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you. 13 But to the degree you are (C)sharing the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the (D)revelation of His glory (E)you may rejoice with exultation. 14 If you are insulted [a](F)for the name of Christ, (G)you are blessed, (H)because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. 15 Make sure that (I)none of you suffers as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or a [b](J)troublesome meddler; 16 but if anyone suffers as a (K)Christian, he is not to be put to shame, but is to (L)glorify God in this name. 17 For it is time for judgment (M)to begin [c]with (N)the house of God; and if it (O)begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those (P)who do not obey the (Q)gospel of God? 18 (R)And if it is with difficulty that the righteous is saved, [d]what will become of the (S)godless man and the sinner? 19 Therefore, those also who suffer according to (T)the will of God must entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing good.

Suffering as a Christian
12 Beloved, do not be surprised at (A)the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice (B)insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad (C)when his glory is revealed. 14 (D)If you are insulted (E)for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory[a] and of God rests upon you. 15 But (F)let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or (G)as a meddler. 16 Yet (H)if anyone suffers as a (I)Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God (J)in that name. 17 For it is time for judgment (K)to begin at the household of God; and (L)if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who (M)do not obey the gospel of God? 18 And
19 Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will (O)entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.
