12Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial that has come upon you, as though something strange were happening to you.
13But rejoice that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed at the revelation of His glory.
14If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.
— 1 Peter 4:12-14
