Acts 26:28

28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?” 29 Paul replied, “Short time or long—I pray to God that not only you but all who are listening to me today may become what I am, except for these chains.

1 Peter 4:16 

 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. 16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name

1 Peter 2:21
21For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example that you should follow in his footsteps. 22“He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.”
