1 Peter 4:11-13
Worldwide English (New Testament)
11 Has God blessed you by knowing how to talk? Then you should talk the words of God. Are you a helper? Then you should help with the strength God has given you. In all that you do, you should show that God is great through Jesus Christ. He has praise and power for ever. Yes, he has!
12 My dear brothers, do not be surprised by the hard trouble like fire that comes to test you. Do not think some new thing is happening to you.
13 Be glad when you suffer as Christ did. Then you will also be very glad when he comes and you see how great he is.
