Bible Verses About Afflictions and Adversities

for to vanity was the creation made subject--not of its will, but because of Him who did subject it --in hope,

And we have known that to those loving God all things do work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose;

Who shall separate us from the love of the Christ? tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

(according as it hath been written--`For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long, we were reckoned as sheep of slaughter,')

but in all these we more than conquer, through him who loved us;

for I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor messengers, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,

nor things about to be, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of god, that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

in the hope rejoicing; in the tribulation enduring; in the prayer persevering;

for, as many things as were written before, for our instruction were written before, that through the endurance, and the exhortation of the Writings, we might have the hope.

and being judged by the Lord, we are chastened, that with the world we may not be condemned;

Blessed is God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the mercies, and God of all comfort,

who is comforting us in all our tribulation, for our being able to comfort those in any tribulation through the comfort with which we are comforted ourselves by God;

because, as the sufferings of the Christ do abound to us, so through the Christ doth abound also our comfort;

and our hope is stedfast for you, knowing that even as ye are partakers of the sufferings--so also of the comfort.

on every side being in tribulation, but not straitened; perplexed, but not in despair;

persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

at all times the dying of the Lord Jesus bearing about in the body, that the life also of Jesus in our body may be manifested,

wherefore, we faint not, but if also our outward man doth decay, yet the inward is renewed day by day;

for the momentary light matter of our tribulation, more and more exceedingly an age-during weight of glory doth work out for us--

but He who is comforting the cast-down--God--He did comfort us in the presence of Titus;

and He said to me, `Sufficient for thee is My grace, for My power in infirmity is perfected;' most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Christ may rest on me:

of one another the burdens bear ye, and so fill up the law of the Christ,

And I wish you to know, brethren, that the things concerning me, rather to an advancement of the good news have come,

so that my bonds have become manifest in Christ in the whole praetorium, and to the other places--all,

and the greater part of the brethren in the Lord, having confidence by my bonds, are more abundantly bold--fearlessly to speak the word.
