II Timothy 2:10

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions for the sake of His body, which is the church.

And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself restore you, secure you, strengthen you, and establish you.

If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which accomplishes in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we experience.

Join me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

What if He did this to make the riches of His glory known to the vessels of His mercy, whom He prepared in advance for glory—

I ask on their behalf. I do not ask on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those You have given Me; for they are Yours.

For our light and momentary affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory that is far beyond comparison.

To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

To those who by perseverance in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal life.
