12Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial among you that is happening to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.

13But insofar as you share in the sufferings of Messiah, rejoice, so that at the revelation of his glory you may also rejoice with exultation.

14If you are insulted in the name of Messiah, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.
