17 For (A)this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison,18 (B)as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
5 who by God's power are being guarded (A)through faith for a salvation (B)ready to be revealed in the last time.6 In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by (C)various trials,7 so that (D)the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes (E)though it is tested by (F)fire—may be found to result in (G)praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
11 (A)“Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely (B)on my account.12 (C)Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for (D)so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
24 But (A)I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only (B)I may finish my course and (C)the ministry (D)that I received from the Lord Jesus, (E)to testify to (F)the gospel of (G)the grace of God.

25 (A)choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy (B)the fleeting pleasures of sin.26 (C)He considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to (D)the reward.
5 So I exhort the elders among you, (A)as a fellow elder and (B)a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed:
