⁶ in which ye are glad, a little now, if it be necessary, being made to sorrow in manifold trials,

² All joy count `it', my brethren, when ye may fall into temptations manifold;

² through whom also we have the access by the faith into this grace in which we have stood, and we boast on the hope of the glory of God.

¹⁰ And the God of all grace, who did call you to His age-during glory in Christ Jesus, having suffered a little, Himself make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle `you';

¹² in the hope rejoicing; in the tribulation enduring; in the prayer persevering;

³ To appoint to mourners in Zion, To give to them beauty instead of ashes, The oil of joy instead of mourning, A covering of praise for a spirit of weakness, And He is calling to them, `Trees of righteousness, The planting of Jehovah -- to be beautified.'

¹² rejoice ye and be glad, because your reward `is' great in the heavens, for thus did they persecute the prophets who were before you.

¹⁹ Many `are' the evils of the righteous, Out of them all doth Jehovah deliver him.

²⁸ `Come unto me, all ye labouring and burdened ones, and I will give you rest,

² Lo, God `is' my salvation, I trust, and fear not, For my strength and song `is' Jah Jehovah, And He is to me for salvation.

³ And ye have drawn waters with joy Out of the fountains of salvation,

²⁸ My soul hath dropped from affliction, Establish me according to Thy word.

¹ Come, we sing to Jehovah, We shout to the rock of our salvation.

²⁷ Though I say, `I forget my talking, I forsake my corner, and I brighten up!'

²⁸ I have been afraid of all my griefs, I have known that Thou dost not acquit me.

¹¹ And not only `so', but we are also boasting in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom now we did receive the reconciliation;

¹ And Hannah prayeth, and saith: `My heart hath exulted in Jehovah, My horn hath been high in Jehovah, My mouth hath been large over mine enemies, For I have rejoiced in Thy salvation.

¹⁰ I greatly rejoice in Jehovah, Joy doth my soul in my God, For He clothed me with garments of salvation, With a robe of righteousness covereth Me, As a bridegroom prepareth ornaments, And as a bride putteth on her jewels.

²⁰ but, in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subjected to you, but rejoice rather that your names were written in the heavens.'

²² `And ye, therefore, now, indeed, have sorrow; and again I will see you, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one doth take from you,

³³ these things I have spoken to you, that in me ye may have peace, in the world ye shall have tribulation, but take courage -- I have overcome the world.'

²² confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting to remain in the faith, and that through many tribulations it behoveth us to enter into the reign of God,

⁹ for I think that God did set forth us the apostles last -- as appointed to death, because a spectacle we became to the world, and messengers, and men;

¹⁰ we `are' fools because of Christ, and ye wise in Christ; we `are' ailing, and ye strong; ye glorious, and we dishonoured;

¹¹ unto the present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and wander about,

¹² and labour, working with `our' own hands; being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer;

¹³ being spoken evil of, we entreat; as filth of the world we did become -- of all things an offscouring -- till now.

¹² Beloved, think it not strange at the fiery suffering among you that is coming to try you, as if a strange thing were happening to you,

¹³ but, according as ye have fellowship with the sufferings of the Christ, rejoice ye, that also in the revelation of his glory ye may rejoice -- exulting;

⁶ and ye -- ye did become imitators of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much tribulation, with joy of the Holy Spirit,

³⁷ And having taken Peter, and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful, and to be very heavy;

⁷ And of all things the end hath come nigh; be sober-minded, then, and watch unto the prayers,

⁷ that the proof of your faith -- much more precious than of gold that is perishing, and through fire being approved -- may be found to praise, and honour, and glory, in the revelation of Jesus Christ,

⁸ whom, not having seen, ye love, in whom, now not seeing and believing, ye are glad with joy unspeakable and glorified,

¹⁷ for the momentary light matter of our tribulation, more and more exceedingly an age-during weight of glory doth work out for us --

⁷ And we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us;

⁸ on every side being in tribulation, but not straitened; perplexed, but not in despair;

⁹ persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

¹⁰ at all times the dying of the Lord Jesus bearing about in the body, that the life also of Jesus in our body may be manifested,

¹¹ for always are we who are living delivered up to death because of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our dying flesh,

² that I have great grief and unceasing pain in my heart --

¹⁰ And the messenger said to them, `Fear not, for lo, I bring you good news of great joy, that shall be to all the people --

⁴⁷ And my spirit was glad on God my Saviour,

³² For though He afflicted, yet He hath pitied, According to the abundance of His kindness.

³³ For He hath not afflicted with His heart, Nor doth He grieve the sons of men.

⁷⁵ I have known, O Jehovah, That righteous `are' Thy judgments, And `in' faithfulness Thou hast afflicted me.

²⁰ Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am sick, And I look for a bemoaner, and there is none, And for comforters, and I have found none.

¹⁰ All my bones say, `Jehovah, who is like Thee, Delivering the poor from the stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.'

¹⁰ as sorrowful, and always rejoicing; as poor, and making many rich; as having nothing, and possessing all things.

²³ ministrants of Christ are they? -- as beside myself I speak -- I more; in labours more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths many times;

²⁴ from Jews five times forty `stripes' save one I did receive;

²⁵ thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice was I shipwrecked, a night and a day in the deep I have passed;

²⁶ journeyings many times, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from kindred, perils from nations, perils in city, perils in wilderness, perils in sea, perils among false brethren;

²⁷ in laboriousness and painfulness, in watchings many times, in hunger and thirst, in fastings many times, in cold and nakedness;

⁹ be exceeding afflicted, and mourn, and weep, let your laughter to mourning be turned, and the joy to heaviness;

⁹ And let the brother who is low rejoice in his exaltation,

⁷ if chastening ye endure, as to sons God beareth Himself to you, for who is a son whom a father doth not chasten?

⁸ and if ye are apart from chastening, of which all have become partakers, then bastards are ye, and not sons.

⁹ Then, indeed, fathers of our flesh we have had, chastising `us', and we were reverencing `them'; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of the spirits, and live?

¹⁰ for they, indeed, for a few days, according to what seemed good to them, were chastening, but He for profit, to be partakers of His separation;

¹¹ and all chastening for the present, indeed, doth not seem to be of joy, but of sorrow, yet afterward the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those exercised through it -- it doth yield.

³⁵ Women received by a rising again their dead, and others were tortured, not accepting the redemption, that a better rising again they might receive,

³⁶ and others of mockings and scourgings did receive trial, and yet of bonds and imprisonment;

³⁷ they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tried; in the killing of the sword they died; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins -- being destitute, afflicted, injuriously treated,

³⁸ of whom the world was not worthy; in deserts wandering, and `in' mountains, and `in' caves, and `in' the holes of the earth;

⁴ Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice;

³ for we are the circumcision, who by the Spirit are serving God, and glorying in Christ Jesus, and in flesh having no trust,

²⁶ seeing he was longing after you all, and in heaviness, because ye heard that he ailed,

²² And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

⁹ and He said to me, `Sufficient for thee is My grace, for My power in infirmity is perfected;' most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Christ may rest on me:

¹⁰ wherefore I am well pleased in infirmities, in damages, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses -- for Christ; for whenever I am infirm, then I am powerful;

¹⁴ So that I recount all Thy praise, In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I rejoice on Thy salvation.
