ADVERSITY

→ 1 Peter 1:7            Trial of your faith

That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

→ Psalm 34:17    Delivered of all troubles

The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

→ 1 Peter 5:10               Strengthen you

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

→ Luke 6:22              Blessed are you

Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.

→ Psalm 37:24        Upheld in God's hand

Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.

→ James 5:13               Pray and sing

Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.

→ Psalm 37:39     Strength in time of trouble

But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

→ 1 Peter 2:19-23              Endure patiently

For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

→ 2 Corinthians 1:5-6       Consolation

For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

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: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.

→ Romans 8:18        Suffering and glory

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

 → 2 Corinthians 4:17   But for a moment

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

 → 1 Peter 4:14                Happy are you

If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

 → John 16:33    Peace and of good cheer

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

 → 1 Peter 4:13             Rejoice

But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
