WE REJOICE IN OUR SUFFERINGS

4 BUT WE ALSO REJOICE IN OUR SUFFERINGS,

BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT SUFFERING PRODUCES PERSEVERANCE;

4 PERSEVERANCE, CHARACTER; AND CHARACTER HOPE

5 AND HOPE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT US,

BECAUSE GOD HAS POURED OUT HIS LOVE INTO OUR HEARTS

BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHOM HE HAS GIVEN US.

(Romans 5:4-5)
