'Affliction' in the Bible

For our momentary and light affliction works for us in surpassing measure an eternal weight of glory;

Great is my boldness towards you, great my exulting in respect of you; I am filled with encouragement; I overabound in joy under all our affliction.

that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty has abounded to the riches of their free-hearted liberality.

But ye have done well in taking part in my affliction.

choosing rather to suffer affliction along with the people of God than to have the temporary pleasure of sin;

Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
