1 Peter 4:13-15

Mace(i) 13 on the contrary, rejoice at the share you have of sufferings, as well as Christ: that you may likewise triumph, when he shall appear in his glory. 14 if you suffer indignities in the cause of Christ, you are happy: for the glorious spirit of God rests upon you. 15 take care therefore not to suffer upon the account of homicide, or thievery, or for any criminal, or pragmatical practices.
