Thematic Bible: Suffering for Christ


Thematic Bible





If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or a wrongdoer, or a troublesome meddler; yet if one suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but under that name let him glorify God.

But rejoice that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may also be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.

That is why, for Christ's sake, I am content in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties; for when I am weak, then I am strong.
