TSK · Luke 21:17

"Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Then they will deliver you up to oppression, and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name's sake.

Blessed are you when men shall hate you, and when they shall exclude and mock you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man's sake.

If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

I have given them your word. The world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

For we don't preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake;

Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.

If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed; because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.
