15 My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
44 but I say unto you, Love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you;
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.
10 Wherefore 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.
18 If the world hateth you, ye know that it hath hated me before it hated you.
14 Bless them that persecute you; bless, and curse not.
10 Blessed are they that have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
7 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake.
11 Blessed are ye when men shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
29 Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for my sake, and for the gospel’s sake, 30 but he shall receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.
8 Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
12 Yea, and all that would live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
