Matthew 5:11

The Beatitudes

¹⁰ Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of goodness! the Realm of heaven is theirs. ¹¹ Blessed are you when men denounce you and persecute you and utter all manner of evil against you for my sake; ¹² rejoice and exult in it, for your reward is rich in heaven; that is how they persecuted the prophets before you.
