The apostle Peter made this clear when commenting on the suffering coming upon fellow believers in his time: “After you have suffered a little while, the God of all undeserved kindness, who called you to his everlasting glory in union with Christ, will himself finish your training, he will make you firm, he will make you strong. ” ​ — 1 Peter 5: 10.
Apostel Peetrus tõi selle selgelt esile, kui ta rääkis tema ajal kaasusklikke tabanud kannatustest: ” Aga kogu armu Jumal, kes teid on kutsunud oma igavesse kirkusesse Kristuses Jeesuses, parandab, kinnitab, tugevdab ja toetab teid, kes te üürikest aega olete kannatanud ”.
