Heb.2: ¹⁷ For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for ⁿ the sins of the people. ¹⁸ Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. (3958)

^{1PE 4:1} Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because he who has suffered in his body is done with sin. ² As a result, he does not live the rest of his earthly life for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God.

^{1PE 4:19} So then, those who suffer according to God's will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.

^{1PE 5:10} And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. ¹¹ To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.

^Heb.5:8 Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered ⁹ and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him
