| I Peter 4:12 | Dearly beloved, think not strange the burning heat which is to try you, as if some new thing happened to you: | Think not strange, etc. Be not surprised, nor discouraged that a hot and sharp persecution is come upon you at this time, as if it were a new and an extraordinary thing. It is what you must expect and be ready to receive with patience, and even with joy, when you suffer as Christ did before you, and for his sake: this is the way to eternal happiness in heaven. (Witham) |
