1 Peter 4:14

Sharing The Sufferings Of Christ

¹³ But, inasmuch as ye participate in the sufferings of Christ, rejoice; that also, in the revelation of his glory, ye might rejoice, transported with joy. ¹⁴ If ye be reproached in the name of Christ, ye happy; for the spirit of glory and of God rests upon you: by them truly he is defamed, and by you he is praised. ¹⁵ For let not any of you suffer as a murderer, or thief, or doing evil, or as an inspector, in what pertains to others.
