"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

[Reginald E. Smith @ReginaldESmith]

Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

[Reginald E. Smith @ReginaldESmith]

He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.

[Reginald E. Smith @ReginaldESmith]

For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.

[Reginald E. Smith @ReginaldESmith]

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.

[Reginald E. Smith @ReginaldESmith]

The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.

[Reginald E. Smith @ReginaldESmith]

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

[Reginald E. Smith @ReginaldESmith]

Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope.

[Reginald E. Smith @ReginaldESmith]

In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,
