TSK · Acts 9:16

‹Blessed are ye, when› [men] ‹shall revile you, and persecute› [you], ‹and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.›

‹Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.›

¶ ‹These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.›

And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:

And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver [him] into the hands of the Gentiles.

But in all [things] approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.

Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, [even] unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.

If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy [are ye]; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
