“There are the four kinds of suffering. The first two are the wages of the lost sinner and the lie of wretchedness experienced by the Christian who is trying independently to live the life only Christ is. We do not have to continue in those. The last two kinds of suffering are temptations/trials, which we are to count joy and use to practice faith seeing God at work, and the last kind of suffering is voluntary, intercessory suffering to set other captives free” (Brian Coatney).
