The words in verses 3- 4 stand out to me, "And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that sufferings produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope."
sufferings, perseverance, character, and hope (NIV)
tribulation, patience, experience, and hope (KJV)
Maurice shared with me that if you experience some difficult situations and have the character and hope in Christ Jesus, you could help others with similar situations, and lead them to Christ. And we can choose to be joyful because God loves us and is with us. Amen!
