Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.“ You are blessed when they insult you and persecute you and falsely say every kind of evil against you because of me.Be glad and rejoice, because your reward is great in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Therefore, you must submit, not only because of wrath but also because of your conscience.

But they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they don’t know the one who sent me.

But even if you should suffer for righteousness, you are blessed. Do not fear them or be intimidated,but in your hearts regard Christ the Lord as holy, ready at any time to give a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you.Yet do this with gentleness and reverence, keeping a clear conscience, so that when you are accused, those who disparage your good conduct in Christ will be put to shame.For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God’s will, than for doing evil.

All your commands are true; people persecute me with lies— help me!

Those who hate me without cause are more numerous than the hairs of my head; my deceitful enemies, who would destroy me, are powerful. Though I did not steal, I must repay.

and that is why I suffer these things. But I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that he is able to guard what has been entrusted to me until that day.

We want you to know, brothers and sisters, about the grace of God that was given to the churches of Macedonia:

Indeed, this is our boast: The testimony of our conscience is that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you, with godly sincerity and purity, not by human wisdom but by God’s grace.

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

Do not let my deceitful enemies rejoice over me; do not let those who hate me without cause wink at me maliciously.

I know your thoughts very well, the schemes by which you would wrong me.

But my enemies are vigorous and powerful; many hate me for no reason.

When he arrived and saw the grace of God, he was glad and encouraged all of them to remain true to the Lord with devoted hearts,
