TSK · James 1:2

Blessed are they that have been persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the Name.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

because to you it hath been granted in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer in his behalf:

and in the same manner do ye also joy, and rejoice with me.

For ye both had compassion on them that were in bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your possessions, knowing that ye have for yourselves a better possession and an abiding one.

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he hath been approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which [the Lord] promised to them that love him.

but insomuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory also ye may rejoice with exceeding joy.

Fear not the things which thou art about to suffer: behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee the crown of life.
