^{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.

^{17 Ref} For the time `is come' for judgment to begin at the house of God: and if `it begin' first at us, what `shall be' the end of them that obey not the gospel of God?

^{18 Ref} And if the righteous is scarcely saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear?

^{19 Ref} Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing unto a faithful Creator.
