³² Remember those earlier days after you had received the light,^(A) when you endured in a great conflict full of suffering.^{(B) 33} Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution;^(C) at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated.^{(D) 34} You suffered along with those in prison^(E) and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions.^(F)

³ Continue to remember those in prison^(A) as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.
