1 Peter 4:16-19

¹⁶Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name. ¹⁷For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? ¹⁸And "If the righteous is scarcely saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?"¹⁹Therefore let those who suffer according to God’s will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.

Lam. 3:25-27

²⁵YAHWEH is good to those who wait for him,
to the soul who seeks him.
²⁶ It is good that one should wait quietly
for the salvation of YAHWEH.
²⁷ It is good for a man that he bear
the yoke in his youth.
