3 Not only that, but let us rejoice while in tribulations,+ since we know that tribulation produces endurance;+ 4 endurance, in turn, an approved condition;+ the approved condition, in turn, hope,+ 5 and the hope does not lead to disappointment;+ because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the holy spirit, which was given to us.+

12 Rejoice in the hope. Endure under tribulation.+ Persevere in prayer.+

4 but in every way we recommend ourselves as God’s ministers,+ by the endurance of much, by tribulations, by times of need, by difficulties,+

8 So do not become ashamed either of the witness about our Lord+ or of me, a prisoner for his sake, but take your part in suffering adversity+ for the good news by relying on the power of God.+

3 As a fine soldier+ of Christ Jesus, take your part in suffering adversity.+
