10 Wherefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in insults, in necessities, in persecutions, in straits, for Christ: for when I am weak, then I am powerful.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
44 But *I* say unto you, Love your enemies, {bless those who curse you,} do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who {insult you and} persecute you,
15 My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from my persecutors.
8 Be vigilant, watch. Your adversary {the} devil as a roaring lion walks about seeking whom he may devour.
18 If the world hate you, know that it has hated me before you.
7 And I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
14 Bless them that persecute you; bless, and curse not.
10 Blessed they who are persecuted on account of righteousness, for *theirs* is the kingdom of the heavens.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? tribulation or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
22 Blessed are ye when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you {from them}, and shall reproach {you}, and cast out your name as wicked, for the Son of man's sake:
12 And all indeed who desire to live piously in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
11 Blessed are ye when they may reproach and persecute you, and say every wicked thing against you, lying, for my sake.
29 Jesus answering said, Verily I say to you, There is no one who has left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, {or wife}, or children, or lands, for my sake and for the sake of the gospel,
30 that shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time: houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions, and in the coming age life eternal.
