44 But I say to you, love your enemies; bless them who curse you; do good to them who hate you; and pray for them who arraign and persecute you;
14 Bless them who persecute you-bless, and curse not.
8 Be sober, be vigilant: your adversary, the devil, is walking about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour:
10 Wherefore, I am well pleased with weaknesses, with insults, with necessities, with persecutions, with distresses, for Christ's sake; because when I am weak, then I am strong.
18 If the world hate you, consider that it hated me, before it hated you.
35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will affliction, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
10 Happy they who suffer persecution on account of righteousness; for the kingdom of heaven is theirs!
7 and I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?
11 Happy shall you be, when men shall revile and persecute you; and, on my account, accuse you falsely of every evil thing!
22 Happy shall you be when men shall hate you, and separate your from their society; yes, reproach and defame you, on account of the Son of Man!
12 And all, indeed, who will live godly in Christ Jesus, shall be persecuted:
29 Jesus answering, said, Indeed, I say to you, there is none who shall have forsaken his house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, for my sake and the gospel's;
30 who shall not receive now, in this world, a hundred fold; houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the future state, eternal life.
