Romans 8:38  For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

 

Romans 8:39  nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

1 Corinthians 4:11  To this present hour we are both hungry and thirsty, and are poorly clothed, and are roughly treated, and are homeless;

 

1 Corinthians 4:12  and we toil, working with our own hands; when we are reviled, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure;

 

1 Corinthians 4:13  when we are slandered, we try to conciliate; we have become as the scum of the world, the dregs of all things, even until now.

 

2 Corinthians 4:8 ¶  we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing;

 

2 Corinthians 4:9  persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;

 

2 Corinthians 4:10  always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.

 

2 Corinthians 4:11  For we who live are constantly being delivered over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

2 Timothy 3:11  persecutions, and sufferings, such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium and at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord rescued me!

 

James 1:2 ¶  Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials,

1 Peter 4:12 ¶  Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you;

 

1 Peter 4:13  but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the revelation of His glory you may rejoice with exultation.

 

1 Peter 4:14  If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.

 

1 Peter 4:15  Make sure that none of you suffers as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or a troublesome meddler;

 

1 Peter 4:16  but if anyone suffers as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name.

 

1 John 3:12  not as Cain, who was of the evil one and slew his brother. And for what reason did he slay him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother’s were righteous.

 

Revelation 2:10  ‘Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, so that you will be tested, and you will have tribulation for ten days.

2 Thessalonians 1:7  and to give relief to you who are afflicted and to us as well when the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire,

 

James 1:12  Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
