Sharing The Sufferings Of Christ

¹³ but so far as you are sharing Christ's sufferings, keep on rejoicing, so that at the uncovering of His glory you may rejoice triumphantly. ¹⁴ If you are suffering abuse because you bear the name of Christ, you are happy, because the glorious Spirit of God is resting upon you. ¹⁵ For not one of you should suffer as a murderer or as a thief or any sort of criminal, or as a meddler in other people's business,
