1 Pet 4:12-14 Beloved, think it not
strange concerning the fiery trial which
is to try you, as though some strange

inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christs
sufferings; that, when his glory shall be
revealed, ye may be glad also with

but on your part he is glorified.

bastards, and not sons.
1 Pet 1:5-6 [You] are kept by the power

ready to be revealed in the last time.
Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now
for a season, if need be, ye are in
heaviness through manifold temptations:
