Suffering

 

 

Job 36:15  He delivers the afflicted by their affliction, and opens their ear by adversity.

 

Is 48:10  See, I have refined you, but not like silver; I have tested you in the furnace of adversity.

 

Rom 5:3-4  And not only that, but wed also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,

 

Rom 8:18  I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us.

 

Rom 12:12  Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer.

 

2Cor 4:17-18  For this slight momentary affliction is preparing us for an eternal weight of glory beyond all measure, because we look not at what can be seen but at what cannot be seen; for what can be seen is temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal.

 

2Cor 1:6  And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer:

 

Php 1:29  For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake

 

2Ti 2:12  If we suffer, we shall also reign with him

 

2Ti 3:12  Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

 

Heb 11:25  Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season

 

Heb 13:3  Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.

 

1Pet 2:19  For it is a credit to you if, being aware of God, you endure pain while suffering unjustly.

 

1Pe 4:19  Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
