In Romans 8:18 Paul writes, “I consider that our present sufferings are not comparable to the glory that will be revealed in us.” 2 Corinthians 4:17 speaks of light and momentary affliction producing an eternal weight of glory, and Romans 8:28 says God works all things together for the good of those who love Him.

Romans 5:3–4 and 5:3–5 say, “we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope,” and 5:5 adds that hope does not disappoint. James 1:2–4 tells its readers to consider it pure joy when they encounter trials.

Philippians 1:29 tells its readers that it has been granted to them not only to believe in Christ but also to suffer for Him, and in 3:10 Paul says that he wants to know Christ and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to Him in His death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead. 2 Timothy 3:12 says that all who desire to live godly lives in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. 1 Peter 5:10 says that after its readers have suffered for a little while, God will restore and strengthen them.

Psalm 34:19, attributed to David by its heading, says, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him from them all.” In John 16:33 Jesus tells His disciples that in the world they will have tribulation, “But take courage; I have overcome the world!” In Revelation 21:4 a loud voice from the throne says there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain.
