^{12 Ref} Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial among you, which cometh upon you to prove you, as though a strange thing happened unto you:

^{13 Ref} but insomuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory also ye may rejoice with exceeding joy.

^{14 Ref} If ye are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed `are ye'; because the `Spirit' of glory and the Spirit of God resteth upon you.

^{15 Ref} For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a meddler in other men's matters:

^{16 Ref} but if `a man suffer' as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this name.
