1 peter 4:12-19
1 Peter 4:12 - "Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:"
'Si los insultan porque llevan el nombre de Cristo, serán bendecidos, porque el glorioso Espíritu de Dios reposa sobre ustedes. En cambio, alégrense mucho, porque estas pruebas los hacen ser partícipes con Cristo de su sufrimiento, para que tengan la inmensa alegría de ver su gloria cuando sea revelada a todo el mundo. Queridos amigos, no se sorprendan de las pruebas de fuego por las que están atravesando, como si algo extraño les sucediera. Sin embargo, si sufren, que no sea por matar, robar, causar problemas o entrometerse en asuntos ajenos. En cambio, no es nada vergonzoso sufrir por ser cristianos. ¡Alaben a Dios por el privilegio de que los llamen por el nombre de Cristo! Pues ha llegado el tiempo del juicio, y debe comenzar por la casa de Dios; y si el juicio comienza con nosotros, ¿qué terrible destino les espera a los que nunca obedecieron la Buena Noticia de Dios? Además, «Si los justos a duras penas se salvan, ¿qué será de los pecadores que viven sin Dios?» . De modo que, si sufren de la manera que agrada a Dios, sigan haciendo lo correcto y confíenle su vida a Dios, quien los creó, pues él nunca les fallará.' 1 Pedro 4:12-19

If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified." - 1 Peter 4:12-14
