啟示錄 1:9
I, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.
我約翰就是你們的弟兄,和你們在耶穌的患難、國度、忍耐裡一同有分,為神的道,並為給耶穌作的見證,曾在那名叫拔摩的海島上。
詩篇 71:20
Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up.
你是叫我們多經歷重大急難的,必使我們復活,從地的深處救上來。
使徒行傳 14:22
strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith. "We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God," they said.
堅固門徒的心,勸他們恆守所信的道;又說:「我們進入神的國,必須經歷許多艱難。」
希伯來書 10:32
- 35
Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you endured in a great conflict full of suffering.
Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated.
You suffered along with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions.
So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.
你們要追念往日,蒙了光照以後所忍受大爭戰的各樣苦難:
一面被毀謗,遭患難,成了戲景,叫眾人觀看;一面陪伴那些受這樣苦難的人。
因為你們體恤了那些被捆鎖的人,並且你們的家業被人搶去,也甘心忍受,知道自己有更美長存的家業。
所以,你們不可丟棄勇敢的心;存這樣的心必得大賞賜。
彼得前書 5:9
- 10
Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
你們要用堅固的信心抵擋他,因為知道你們在世上的眾弟兄也是經歷這樣的苦難。
那賜諸般恩典的神曾在基督裡召你們,得享他永遠的榮耀,等你們暫受苦難之後,必要親自成全你們,堅固你們,賜力量給你們。
