When suffering afflictions
Psalm 34:19
A righteous man may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him form
them all; ...
2 Corinthians 4:17
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal
glory that far outweighs them all.
When being treated unfairly
1 Peter 2:19-23
For it is commendable if a man bears up under the pain of unjust
suffering because he is conscious of God. 20 But how is it to your
credit if you received a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if
you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before
God. 21 To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you,
leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.
22"He committed no sin,
and no deceit was found in his mouth."
23 When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he
suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who
judges justly.
1 Peter 4:12-15
Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering,
as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you
participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed
when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted because of the name of
Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on
you. If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other
kind of criminal, or even as a meddler.
