"... Tuhan berfirman ketika Dia mendekati hasrat-Nya, 'Sekarang Anak Manusia dimuliakan, dan Allah dimuliakan di dalam Dia. Jika Allah dimuliakan di dalam Dia, Allah juga akan memuliakan Dia di dalam diri-Nya; dan Dia akan memuliakan Dia sekaligus '(Yoh. 13: 31-32). Dari sini jelaslah bahwa karunia ilahi mengikuti penderitaan yang dialami demi kebaikan."

...the Lord said as He drew near His passion, 'Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in Him. If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself; and He will glorify Him at once' (Jn. 13:31-32). From This it is clear that divine gifts follow sufferings endured for the sake of virtue.
