I Peter 4: 12-18
Dear friends, don"t be bewildered or surprised
When you go through the firey trials ahead
For this is no strange, unusual thing
That is going to happen to you
Instead, be really glad---because these trials
Will make you partners with Christ in His suffering
And afterwards you will have the wonderful joy
In sharing His glory in that coming day
When it will be displayed....
Be happy if you are cursed and insulted, for
Being a Christian~
For when that happens the Spirit of God
Will come upon you with great glory....
Don't let me here of your suffering for murdering
Or stealing or making trouble or being a busybody
Prying into other people's affairs
But it is no shame to suffer for being a Christian
Praise God for the privilege of being in Christ's family
And being called by His wonderful name!
For the time has come for judgment....
And it must begin first among God's own children
And if we who are Christians must be judged
What terrible fate awaits those
Who have never believed in the Lord?
If the righteous are barely saved....
What chance will the godless have?
So if you are suffering according to God's will
Keep on doing what is right
And trust yourself to God who made you~
For, He shall never fail you!
