TSK · Romans 5:3

“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to them.

By your endurance you will gain your lives.

Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will trouble, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

Are they servants of Christ?(I am talking like I am out of my mind!) I am even more so: with much greater labors, with far more imprisonments, with more severe beatings, facing death many times.

For this reason I ask you not to lose heart because of what I am suffering for you, which is your glory.

But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice together with all of you.

Joy in Trials My brothers and sisters, consider it nothing but joy when you fall into all sorts of trials,

But in fact, if you happen to suffer for doing what is right, you are blessed. But do not be terrified of them or be shaken.
