Hebrews 13:13

Let us then go to Him outside the camp, bearing His disgrace.

For he considered the reproach because of the Messiah to be greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, since his attention was on the reward.

“You are blessed when they insult and persecute you and falsely say every kind of evil against you because of Me.

A disciple is not above his teacher, or a slave above his master.

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to come with Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.

As they were going out, they found a Cyrenian man named Simon. They forced this man to carry His cross.

Those who passed by were yelling insults at Him, shaking their heads

You are blessed when people hate you,
when they exclude you, insult you,
and slander your name as evil
because of the Son of Man.

Then they went out from the presence of the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to be dishonored on behalf of the Name.

We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are dishonored!

So I take pleasure in weaknesses, insults, catastrophes, persecutions, and in pressures, because of Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, so that you won’t grow weary and lose heart.

So they are surprised that you don’t plunge with them into the same flood of wild living—and they slander you.

If you are ridiculed for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.
