Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to test you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
All Commentaries on 1 Peter 4:12 Go To 1 Peter 4
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Think not strange Be not surprised, nor discouraged that a hot and sharp persecution is come upon you at this time, as if it were a new and an extraordinary thing. It is what you must expect and be ready to receive with patience, and even with joy, when you suffer as Christ did before you, and for his sake: this is the way to eternal happiness in heaven. (Witham)
