2 Samuel 16:12

Now we know that all things continually work together for good to those who love God, to those who have been the called according to his purpose.

"Blessed are you when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my name's sake.

For my light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working out for me a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,

and give to you, who are now troubled, rest, along with me at the unveiling "apocalypse" of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with his mighty angels,

For they only disciplined us for a few days, as seemed good to them; but he does it for our profit, that we may share his holiness.

Do not think it strange, beloved, that a fiery ordeal has come to test you, as though some surprising thing had befallen you.

It may be that the LORD will look on mine affliction, and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing this day.
