7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
