44 »I say love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!
4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for you are with me. Your rod and your staff they comfort me.
15 My future is in your hands. Rescue me from my enemies, from those who persecute me.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then I am strong.
18 »If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
8 Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion walks about, seeking whom he may devour consume.
14 Bless those who persecute you. Bless and do not curse.
7 »I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me: Saul, Saul! Why do you persecute me?
35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
10 »Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.
12 Yes, and all who would live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
22 »Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they separate you from their company, and reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of mans sake.
29 Jesus said: »Truly I tell you, a man that has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for my sake, and for the sake of the good news,
30 will receive a hundred times as much now in this time, and in the age to come everlasting life.
11 »Blessed are you when men revile you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake.
