39 He who seeks his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.
29 Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Messiah, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
but the LORD delivers him out of them all.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Messiah? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
3 If I give away all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don’t have love, it profits me nothing.
3 He humbled you, allowed you to be hungry, and fed you with manna, which you didn’t know, neither did your fathers know, that he might teach you that man does not live by bread only, but man lives by every word that proceeds out of the LORD’s mouth.
17 "Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects.
Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.
5 For as the sufferings of Messiah abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Messiah.
17 For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory,
1 Therefore, since Messiah suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
22 Having therefore obtained the help that is from God, I stand to this day testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the Prophets and Moses said would happen, 23 how the Messiah must suffer, and how, by the resurrection of the dead, he would be first to proclaim light both to these people and to the Gentiles."
28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him. 29 They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him and mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
21 For you were called to this, because Messiah also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps,
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; 4 who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
10 But may the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory by Messiah Yeshua, after you have suffered a little while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
20 Then Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshiped. 21 He said, "Naked I came out of my mother’s womb, and naked will I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away. Blessed be the LORD’s name."
2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the Torah of Messiah.
4 Surely he has borne our sickness
and carried our suffering;
yet we considered him plagued,
struck by God, and afflicted.
3 He was despised
and rejected by men,
a man of suffering
and acquainted with disease.
He was despised as one from whom men hide their face;
and we didn’t respect him.
38 He who doesn’t take his cross and follow after me isn’t worthy of me.
18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed toward us.
23 In Sheol, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom. 24 He cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue! For I am in anguish in this flame.’
14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. "Don’t fear what they fear, neither be troubled."
10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death,
