Beloved, Be Rejoicing To Share In The Sufferings of Christ
12 Beloved, do not be thinking-strange the fiery[b] suffering among you coming upon you for a trial[c], as-though a strange thing were happening to you, 13 but be rejoicing to-the-degree you are sharing in the sufferings of Christ, in order that you may also rejoice while being overjoyed at the revelation of His glory!
