Enduring Persecution and Divine Judgment

12

Dearely beloued, thinke it not strange concerning the firie triall, which is among you to proue you, as though some strange thing were come vnto you:

13

But reioyce, in asmuch as ye are partakers of Christs suffrings, that when his glory shall appeare, ye may be glad and reioyce.

14

If yee be railed vpon for the Name of Christ, blessed are ye: for the spirit of glory, and of God resteth vpon you: which on their part is euill spoken of: but on your part is glorified.

15

But let none of you suffer as a murtherer, or as a thiefe, or an euil doer, or as a busibodie in other mens matters.

16

But if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not bee ashamed: but let him glorifie God in this behalfe.

17

For the time is come, that iudgement must beginne at the house of God. If it first beginne at vs, what shall the ende be of them which obey not the Gospel of God?

18

And if the righteous scarcely bee saued, where shall the vngodly and the sinner appeare?

19

Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God, commit their soules to him in well doing, as vnto a faithfull Creator.
