Persecuted And Loving It<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/strong>10 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0“Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.<\/span>
\n11 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0“Blessed are you when people<\/i> insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.<\/span>
\n12 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0“<\/span>Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>18 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>29 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0For to you it has been granted for Christ’s sake, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake,<\/p>\nThe Persecutions Of The Past<\/u><\/b><\/h3>\n

\n11 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.

\n12 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>2 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials,
