Sofrimento

39 Anyone who tries to keep his life, will lose it. Anyone who gives up his life for my sake, will find it.

29 God has given you a special gift. You can not only believe in Christ but also suffer for him.

35 Who can take us away from Christs love? We may have trouble. We may have hard times. People may make us suffer because we believe. We may have no food to eat and no clothes to wear. We may be in danger. We may be killed with big knives. Can any of these things take us away from Christs love?

3 If I give away all I have, and if I give my body to be burned, but if I do not love people, I get nothing out of it.

5 When we have trouble, it is for your sake so that you will be helped and saved. When we are comforted, this helps you. Then you will stand strong when you have the same troubles we have.

17 We are not looking at things that can be seen, but at things that cannot be seen. The things which can be seen last only a little while. But the things which cannot be seen last for ever.

1 Christ suffered in his body. You also must be ready to have the same trouble happen to you. When a man has suffered in his body, he has stopped doing wrong things.

21 He did no wrong. And he told no lie.

10 God gives all blessings. He has called you through Christ to be great with him for ever. When you have suffered for a short time, he will make you all right. He will make you strong and steady.

22 God has always helped me up to today. I have stood and talked to both small people and great people. I have said nothing more than what the prophets and Moses said would happen.

23 They said Christ must suffer. They said he would be the first person to rise from death. He would be the first person to bring news of light to the Jews and those who are not Jews.

2 Help each other in your troubles. In that way you obey Christs law.

10 I want to know Christ. I want to know the power that raised him from death. I want to have a part in his trouble. I want to be like him in his death.

14 But even if people trouble you because you do right, God will bless you. Do not be afraid of them. And do not be troubled.

28 They took off his clothes, and they put a red gown on him.

29 They made a big ring of thorns like a crown and put it on his head. They put a stick in his right hand. Then they kneeled down in front of him and made fun of him. They shouted, Greetings, King of the Jews!

3 And not only is that true, but we are very happy in our troubles, because we know that trouble makes us stronger.

4 When we are strong to take trouble, we prove that we believe. When we prove that we believe, we have hope.

3 He helps us every time we have trouble. Then we are able to be strong and help other people every time they have trouble. We can do this with the same comfort that God gives us.

4 We have plenty of the same troubles that Christ had. But we also have plenty of comfort and help from him.

23 He was in great pain in the world of dead people. He looked up and saw Abraham far away. With him was Lazarus.

24 He called out, "Father Abraham, help me! Send Lazarus to dip his finger in some water and cool my tongue. This fire is very hot for me."

18 I think that the troubles we have in this life are nothing when we think of the great things that we shall have.

38 Anyone who is not willing to carry his cross and suffer with me, is not good enough for me.
