Ye be

For it is pleasing in the sight of God for one to bear his sorrows though suffering innocently.

Instead, you are happy, even if you should suffer for doing right. Never be afraid of their threats, and never be disturbed,

Reproached

They are astonished that you are not still rushing hand in hand with them into the same excesses of profligate living, and they abuse you for it;

"Blessed are you when people abuse you, and persecute you, and keep on falsely telling all sorts of evil against you for my sake.

Blessed are you when people hate you and exclude you and denounce you, and spurn your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man.

Then the Pharisees answered, "You are not swept off your feet too, are you?

But as they opposed and abused him, he shook out his clothes in protest and said to them, "Your blood be upon your own heads! I am not to blame for it myself. Hereafter I am going to the heathen."

Many people will follow their immoral ways, and because of them the true Way will be abused,
