But because you are partakers of Christ's sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory also you may rejoice with exceeding joy.
ye may be glad also with exceeding joy: The future has definite implications for life in the here and now (1 Thessalonians 2:19). "Suffering with him" will result in being "glorified together" with the Lord (Romans 8:17). This time will bring not only joy but exultation (1:6).
