And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with {him}, that we may be also glorified together.

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; {temptations: or, trials}

And not only {so}, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

And our hope of you {is} stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so {shall ye be} also of the consolation.

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle {you}.

Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding {and} eternal weight of glory;

Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you {from their company}, and shall reproach {you}, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.

If we suffer, we shall also reign with {him}: if we deny {him}, he also will deny us:

Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great {is} your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:

Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; {to the end: Gr. perfectly}

And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this {is} our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this {is} the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy {shall be} upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; {and} sorrow and mourning shall flee away.

His lord said unto him, Well done, {thou} good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they {also} which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, {his...: Gr. the angels of his power}

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time {are} not worthy {to be compared} with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Rejoice in the Lord alway: {and} again I say, Rejoice.

Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; {temptations: or, trials}

That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great {is} your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;

Blessed {is} the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with {him}, that we may be also glorified together.

Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;

For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present {you} faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy {are ye}: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;

Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. {our love: Gr. love with us}

Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

If we suffer, we shall also reign with {him}: if we deny {him}, he also will deny us:

As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and {yet} possessing all things.

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.

And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: {coming: Gr. revelation}

Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace. {I have...: or, ye have me in your heart} {of my...: or, with me of grace}

Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed {is} not grievous, but for you {it is} safe.

All the days of the afflicted {are} evil: but he that is of a merry heart {hath} a continual feast.

To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.

Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.

Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward {is} great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
