And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” *3.* “But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.” *4.* “Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”
