Some verses that have got me thinking

'so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern with each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices in it.' 1 Cor 12:25-26


'In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.' 2 Tim 3:12


'Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you stood your ground in a great contest in the face of suffering. Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treatet. You sympathized 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. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. For in just a very little while,

'He who is coming will come and will not delay. But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him.'

But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved. Heb 10:32-39
