親愛的，有火一般的考驗臨到你們，不要奇怪，似乎是遭遇非常的事；倒要歡喜，因為你們是與基督一同受苦，使你們在他榮耀顯現的時候也可以歡喜快樂。你們若為基督的名受辱罵是有福的，因為榮耀的靈，就是上帝的靈，在你們身上。
Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.
彼得前书 1 Peter 4:12-14 和合本+NIV
