3 He was despised and rejected by men. He was a man of sorrows familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised. We did not consider him to be worth much.

4 He took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows. We considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.

28 They took off his clothes and dressed him in a scarlet robe.29 They made a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They placed a rod in his right hand. Then they bowed down on their knees before him. They mocked him, saying: »Long life to the King of the Jews.«

21 For this you were called because Christ also suffered for you. He left you an example a copy for imitationa model that you should follow in his steps.

10 I want to know him and the power of his resurrection. I want to know the fellowship of his sufferings and become conformed to his death.

3 Not only that, but we also rejoice in our tribulations knowing that tribulation produces endurance.4 Tribulation produces an approved condition and an approved condition produces hope.

18 I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that will be revealed in us.

17 Our light affliction is for the moment. It works more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory for us.

5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.

29 It has been granted to you in behalf of Christ. Not only to believe on him, but also to suffer in his behalf.

1 Since Christ suffered physically for us, you too must strengthen yourselves with the same way of thinking that he had. Whoever suffers physically has ceased from sin.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort.4 He comforts us in all our trouble, that we may be able to comfort those who also have trouble, through the comfort with which we are comforted from God.

2 Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.

19 The righteous person has many troubles, but Jehovah rescues him from all of them.

10 After you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will perfect, establish, and strengthen you.

14 Even if you suffer for righteousness sake, you are blessed. Do not fear! Do not be troubled distressedintimidated!

20 Then Job got up and tore his clothes in grief. He shaved his head and threw himself face down on the ground.21 He said: »I was born with nothing naked, and I will die with nothing. Jehovah gave, and now he has taken away. Blessed be the name of Jehovah!«

17 »Blessed is the person whom God corrects. Do not despise discipline from the Almighty.

38 »Anyone who does not pick up his stake and follow me is not worthy of me.

39 »Whoever finds his life will lose it. Whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

23 »He was in great torment in the grave hades. He looked up and saw Abraham, far away, with Lazarus at his side.24 »He called out: Father Abraham! Take pity on me! Please send Lazarus to dip his finger in some water and cool off my tongue. I am in torment in this fire!

3 »He humbled you allowed you to suffer with hunger and then fed you with manna. Neither you nor your fathers had seen this before. He did this to teach you that a person cannot live on bread alone but must live on all everythingevery word that proceeds from the mouth of Jehovah.

35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

3 And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

22 « Having obtained help from God, I continue to this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying no other things than those that the prophets and Moses said should come.23 »That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first to rise from the dead, and should show light to the people, and to the nations.«

14 Pursue peace and holiness with all people, for no man will see the Lord without it.
