“Beloved, do not think it strange at the fiery suffering among you that is coming to try you, as if a strange thing were happening to you,”— 1 Peter 4:12 (LSV)
9[be] hospitable to one another, without murmuring;
10each [one], according as he received a gift, ministering it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God;
11if anyone speaks, [speak] as oracles of God; if anyone ministers, [minister] as of the strength which God supplies, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the power through the ages of the ages. Amen.
12Beloved, do not think it strange at the fiery suffering among you that is coming to try you, as if a strange thing were happening to you,
13but according as you have fellowship with the sufferings of the Christ, rejoice, that you may also rejoice in the revelation of His glory—exulting;
14if you are reproached in the Name of Christ—[you are] blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you; in regard, indeed, to them, is evil spoken of Him, and in regard to you, He is glorified;
15for let none of you suffer as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or as a meddler into other men’s matters;
