TSK · Matthew 5:11

Violent men perjure themselves, and falsely accuse me.

Listen to the LORD’s message, you who respect his word! Your countrymen, who hate you and exclude you, supposedly for the sake of my name, say,“May the LORD be glorified, then we will witness your joy.” But they will be put to shame.

And you will be hated by everyone because of my name. But the one who endures to the end will be saved!

Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life because of me will find it.

Persecution of Disciples“Then they will hand you over to be persecuted and will kill you. You will be hated by all the nations because of my name.

But they have no root in themselves and do not endure. Then, when trouble or persecution comes because of the word, immediately they fall away.

Persecution of Disciples“You must watch out for yourselves. You will be handed over to councils and beaten in the synagogues. You will stand before governors and kings because of me, as a witness to them.

“Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject you as evil on account of the Son of Man!

For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of me will save it.

You will be hated by everyone because of my name.

But they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me.

As it is written,“For your sake we encounter death all day long; we were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

For we who are alive are constantly being handed over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our mortal body.

If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory, who is the Spirit of God, rests on you.
