Dearly beloved marvel not that ye are1 proved by fire (which thing is to try you) as though some strange thing happened unto you: but rejoice, in as much as ye are partakers of Christs passion, that when his glory appeareth, ye may, be merry and glad. If ye be railed upon, for the name of Christ, happy are ye. For the glory and the spirit of God, resteth upon you. On their part, he was evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
