羅馬書5：1-5
1
我們既然因信而被稱為義人，就借著我們的主耶穌基督與上帝和好了。2
我們又靠著祂，借著信進入現在所站的這恩典中，歡歡喜喜地盼望分享上帝的榮耀。3
不但如此，我們在苦難中也歡喜，因為知道苦難使人生忍耐，4
忍耐生品格，品格生盼望。5
這種盼望不會落空，因為上帝的愛借著所賜給我們的聖靈已傾注在我們心中。Rom 5:1-5 NLT Therefore, since we have been made right in God's sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. (2) Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God's glory. (3) We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. (4) And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. (5) And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because He has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with His love.
羅馬書 8：16-18
16 聖靈親自與我們的心一同見證我們是上帝的兒女。17
既然我們是兒女，就是繼承人，是上帝的后嗣，并且與基督同做后嗣。所以，如果現在我們和基督一同受苦，將來也必和祂一同得榮耀。18
我認為現在所受的痛苦與將來要顯給我們的榮耀相比，簡直微不足道。
