Verse 12. Beloved, think is not strange concerning the fiery trial. which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you. Verse 13. But rejoice, in as much as ye are partakers of Christs sufferings, that when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding •oy. Verse 14. If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye, for the Spirit of glory, and of God, resteth upon you: on their part he is evil […] of but on your part he is glorified. Verse 15. But let none of you […] as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evil doer, or as a busy-body, in other mens matters. Verse 16. Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God on this behalf. Verse 17. For the time is come that judgement must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the Gospel of God? Verse 18. And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? Verse 19. Wherefore, let them that suffer according to the will of God, commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
