39 He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.
29 For to you it has been granted for the sake of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake,
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
3 And though I give away all my possessions to feed [the poor], and though I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
5 Because just as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ.
17 For our momentary light affliction is working out for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,
1 Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, you also arm yourselves [with] the same mind, because he who suffered in [the] flesh has ceased from sin,
21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving behind an example for you, that you should follow in His footsteps,
22 Therefore, having obtained help from God, until this day I stand, witnessing both to common [people] and great [people], saying nothing except the things which both the prophets and Moses spoke of as being about to happen,
23 that the Christ was to suffer, that as the first to rise from the dead, He was about to proclaim light to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles."
10 But may the God of all grace, the [One ]having called you into His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little [while], may He Himself make you complete-He will establish, strengthen, [and] firmly ground [you].
2 Bear one another's burdens, and thus fulfill the law of Christ.
10 [so as] to know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,
14 But even if you should suffer on account of righteousness, [you are] blessed. "But do not fear their threats, nor be troubled."
3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, by means of the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
3 And not only that, but we also rejoice in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces endurance;
4 and endurance, character; and character, hope.
23 And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham from afar, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 Then he cried and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am suffering in this flame.'
28 And having stripped Him, they put a scarlet robe on Him.
29 When they had twisted a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand. And kneeling before Him, they mocked Him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
38 And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.
18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy [to be compared] with the coming glory to be revealed in us.
