9 Bible Verses about Rejoicing In Trial

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great will be your reward in heaven: for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

on the contrary, rejoice at the share you have of sufferings, as well as Christ: that you may likewise triumph, when he shall appear in his glory.

Consider the various tryals that surround you, my brethren, as matter of great joy; knowing this,

full of joy, that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for the name of Jesus.

and not only so, but we triumph in tribulation also, knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience, probation;

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and am filling up the measure of those remaining afflictions, which in my turn I am to suffer in this life, in the cause of Christ, for the sake of his body, which is the church:

and you imitated us, and were imitators of the Lord, having receiv'd the word, notwithstanding all your afflictions, with that alacrity, which the holy spirit inspires.
