suffering (and trials) grows maturity..

---

Still very im-mat-u-re. So I hope

1 Peter 4 verse 2, remains still true:

"Since suffering in body, saw him cope,

and Christ called us to take our cross up too,

we'll arm ourselves with his same attitude, 

not running from, but suff'ring as he did,

so in the body sin has not just chewed

its way throughout this life, by staying hid.

As a result, we will not live our lives

just for our own desires, but rather for

the will of God, whose peace means that life thrives."

1 Peter 4:verse 1 & 2 - & more.

"Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body has finished with sin. As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God."

1 Peter 4:1‭-‬2 NIVUK and (Greek & other versions)
