If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. |

his glory. |

Heb 13 3 |
Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those
who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering. |

I The 3 2-4 |
We sent Timothy, who is our brother and God's fellow worker in spreading
the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith, so that no
one would be unsettled by these trials. You know quite well that we were
destined for them. In fact, when we were with you, we kept telling you that we
would be persecuted. And it turned out that way, as you well know. |
|
|
2 Cor 4 16-18 |
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet
inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles
are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix
our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is
temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. |

Act 14 21-22 |
They preached the good news in that city and won a large number of

|
|
II Cor 1 8 |
We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the hardships we
suffered in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our
ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. |
|
|
I Pet 4 12-13 |
Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering,
as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you
participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his
glory is revealed. |
|
|
Ecc 3 1-8 |
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under
heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to
uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to
build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a
time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a
time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and
a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time
for peace. |
|
|
I Pet 5 7-10 |
Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. Be self-controlled
and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for
someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know
that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of
sufferings. And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in
Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and
make you strong, firm and steadfast. |
|
|
II Tim 3 10-12 |
You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose,
faith, patience, love, endurance, persecutions, sufferings--what kinds of
things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I
endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. In fact, everyone who wants
to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, |
|
|
2 Cor 6 4-10 |
Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great
endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses; in beatings, imprisonments
and riots; in hard work, sleepless nights and hunger; in purity, understanding,
patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love; in truthful
speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand
and in the left; through glory and dishonor, bad report and good report;
genuine, yet regarded as impostors; known, yet regarded as unknown; dying, and
yet we live on; beaten, and yet not killed; sorrowful, yet always rejoicing;
poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything. |
|
|
Ecc 9 12 |
As fish are caught in a cruel net, or birds are taken in a snare, so men
are trapped by evil times that fall unexpectedly upon them. |
|
|
Ecc 11 7-8 |
Light is sweet, and it pleases the eyes to see the sun. However many years
a man may live, let him enjoy them all. But let him remember the days of
darkness, for they will be many. |
|
|
II Cor 5 1-7 |
Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a
building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.
Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, because
when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. For while we are in this tent,
we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be
clothed with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up
by life. Now it is God who has made us for this very purpose and has given us
the Spirit as a deposit, Guaranteeing what is to come. Therefore we are always
confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from
the Lord. We live by faith, not by sight. |
