8 Bible Verses about Temporary Affliction Of Saints

For our short and light affliction is working out for us an infinite and eternal weight of glory, as we aim not at the things which are visible, but invisible:

Verily I tell you, that ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

In which ye rejoice, tho' now for a little while, if need be, ye are grieved through various trials.

But may the God of all grace, who hath called us to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after ye have suffered a little while, make you perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

chusing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to have the temporary enjoyment of sin:

Therefore I submit to every thing for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is by Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

And I will with the greatest pleasure spend and be spent for your souls; even though the more I love you, the less I should be loved.

And I account the sufferings of this present time not worthy to be set against the glory that shall be revealed to us.
