" Christians’ future inheritance and exaltation — our eternal share in the glory of Christ — will be awarded to us on the day of his appearing (1:13; 2:12; 4:13; 5:1, 4, 10). But that promised day only comes after this brief season of present-day sufferings. "

― David R. Helm , 1 & 2 Peter and Jude: Sharing Christ's Sufferings
