²⁹ because to you it hath been granted in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer in his behalf:

² Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into manifold temptations;

³ And not only so, but we also rejoice in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation worketh stedfastness;

⁴¹ They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the Name.

¹³ 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.

²² confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God.

¹¹ Blessed are ye when `men' shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

¹² Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets that were before you.

⁸ for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, `it is' the gift of God;

²⁷ And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith unto the Gentiles.

⁴⁴ No man can come to me, except the Father that sent me draw him: and I will raise him up in the last day.

⁴⁵ It is written in the prophets, And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard from the Father, and hath learned, cometh unto me.

¹² But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, `even' to them that believe on his name:

¹³ who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
