Great Is Your Faithfulness

Job Continues: Death Comes Soon to All

^14 (A)If you are insulted ^(B)for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory^[a] and of God rests upon you. ¹⁵ But ^(C)let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or ^(D)as a meddler. ¹⁶ Yet ^(E)if anyone suffers as a ^(F)Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God ^(G)in that name.

⁹ For I think that God has exhibited us apostles as last of all, ^(A)like men sentenced to death, because we ^(B)have become a spectacle to the world, to angels, and to men. ^10 (C)We are fools for Christ's sake, but ^(D)you are wise in Christ. ^(E)We are weak, but you are strong. You are held in honor, but we in disrepute. ¹¹ To the present hour ^(F)we hunger and thirst, we are poorly dressed and ^(G)buffeted and ^(H)homeless, ¹² and we ^(I)labor, working with our own hands. ^(J)When reviled, we bless; ^(K)when persecuted, we endure; ¹³ when slandered, we entreat. ^(L)We have become, and are still, like the scum of the world, ^(M)the refuse of all things.

¹³ Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear ^(A)the reproach he endured.
