Filipenses 1:29

Verse 29

29. For unto you Steadfastness in suffering foreshadows eternal glory, because they are called to the grace of suffering as well as the grace of believing.

It is as truly a privilege to suffer for Christ as it is to believe in him; and blessed are they who can receive both as given in the behalf of Christ.
