And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
And if children, then heirs; heirs of Yahweh, and joint-heirs with the Messiah; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also approved together.
According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also the Messiah shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.
Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of the Messiah in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the assembly:
Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Sovereign delivered me.
But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of the Messiah's sufferings; that, when his honour shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
