7 And so our hope for YOU is unwavering, knowing as we do that, just as YOU are sharers of the sufferings, in the same way YOU will also share the comfort.+

24 I am now rejoicing in my sufferings for YOU,+ and I, in my turn, am filling up what is lacking of the tribulations+ of the Christ in my flesh on behalf of his body, which is the congregation.+

12 Beloved ones, do not be puzzled at the burning among YOU, which is happening to YOU for a trial,+ as though a strange thing were befalling YOU.
