John 15:21

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.

They will do this, because they have never come to know God nor me.

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

and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness to them and the heathen.

At that time they will turn you over to torture, and will murder you, and you will be hated by all the heathen, because you bear my name.

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.

For I am going to show him how great are the sufferings he must endure for my name's sake."

but so far as you are sharing Christ's sufferings, keep on rejoicing, so that at the uncovering of His glory you may rejoice triumphantly.

For from now on, five in a house will be divided, three against two, and two against three.
