Suffering for Being a Christian
Leader: 12 Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal
that has come on you to test you, as though something strange
were happening to you.
All: 13 But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings
of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is
revealed.
Leader: 14 If you are insulted because of the name of Christ,
you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.
All: 15 If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or
any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler.
Leader: 16 However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be
ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.
All: 17 For it is time for judgment to begin with God’s
household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for
those who do not obey the gospel of God?
Leader: 18 And,
“If it is hard for the righteous to be saved,
what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”
All: 19 So then, those who suffer according to God’s will
should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue
to do good.
