Matthew 10:21-22, 25, 28, 34-39 Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. You will be hated by all men for my names sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved. . . .
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! . . .
Dont be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. Dont think that I came to send peace on the earth. I didnt come to send peace, but a sword. . . . A mans foes will be those of his own household. He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isnt worthy of me. He who doesnt take his cross and follow after me isnt worthy of me. He who seeks his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.
Luke 6:22-23 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 Mans sake.
Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing to the prophets.
John 15:19-21 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you: A servant is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. . . . But they will do all these things to you for my names sake, because they dont know him who sent me.
Romans 5:3 Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance
2 Corinthians 1:5-7 For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ. But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer. Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so you are also of the comfort.
Galatians 3:4 Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain?
Colossians 1:24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his bodys sake, which is the assembly
1 Peter 1:6 Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved in various trials,
1 Peter 2:19-21 For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God. For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if, when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God. For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps
1 Peter 3:14, 17 But even if you should suffer for righteousness sake, you are blessed. Dont fear what they fear, neither be troubled. . . . For it is better, if it is Gods will, that you suffer for doing well than for doing evil.
