Matthew 10:39

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.

But he who endures to the end will be saved.

You will be hated by all men for my name’s 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.

You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.

When he was cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously.

You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.

Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life.

Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.

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

Don’t be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.

Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance;

No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even to the end,

You have perseverance and have endured for my name’s sake, and have not grown weary.

It is enough for the disciple that he be like his teacher, and the servant like his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household!

“His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’

Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads,

Those in the good ground, these are those who with an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and produce fruit with perseverance.

Whoever seeks to save his life loses it, but whoever loses his life preserves it.

He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.

Even as it is written, “For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”

We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor.

When the chief Shepherd is revealed, you will receive the crown of glory that doesn’t fade away.

Hear Yahweh’s word, you who tremble at his word: “Your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for my name’s sake, have said, ‘Let Yahweh be glorified, that we may see your joy;’ but it is those who shall be disappointed.

Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

Yes, and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.

They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble.

Jesus said, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or land, for my sake, and for the sake of the Good News,

“If anyone comes to me, and doesn’t disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can’t be my disciple.

They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

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.

They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for Jesus’ name.

For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake.”

to those who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility, eternal life;

Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up.

For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence firm to the end,

I am coming quickly! Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown.

He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne.

The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, I give to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.

They will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me.

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,

These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings, and those who are with him are called chosen and faithful.”

Don’t be afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes;

“Listen to me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law. Don’t fear the reproach of men, and don’t be dismayed at their insults.

Therefore don’t be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed; and hidden that will not be known.

having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they see, glorify God in the day of visitation.

having a good conscience. Thus, while you are spoken against as evildoers, they may be disappointed who curse your good way of life in Christ.

But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up.”

For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the sake of the Good News will save it.

Don’t be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life.

When Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men and all the princes heard his words, the king sought to put him to death; but when Uriah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt.

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

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake, will save it.

But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they don’t know him who sent me.

But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “Don’t fear what they fear, neither be troubled.”
