“ [16] Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name”
– 1 Peter 4:16

Today’s Scripture: 1 Peter 4:12-19

Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening  to you. 13 But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. 14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler. 16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be
ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name. 17 For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it
begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18 And “If the righteous is scarcely
saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?” 19 Therefore let those who suffer according to God’s will entrust
their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.
