And they will do these things because they have not known the Father or Me.

Because for Your sake I have borne reproach;
Confusion and dishonor have covered my face.

Hear the word of the Lord, you who tremble [with awe-filled reverence] at His word:
“Your brothers who hate you, who exclude you for My Name’s sake,
Have said, ‘Let the Lord be glorified, that we may see your joy.’
But they will be put to shame.

“Blessed [morally courageous and spiritually alive with life-joy in God’s goodness] are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil things against you because of [your association with] Me.

and you will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.

“Then they will hand you over to [endure] tribulation, and will put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.

Blessed [morally courageous and spiritually alive with life-joy in God’s goodness] are you when people hate you, and exclude you [from their fellowship], and insult you, and scorn your name as evil because of [your association with] the Son of Man.

for I will make clear to him how much he must suffer and endure for My name’s sake.”

But insofar as you are sharing Christ’s sufferings, keep on rejoicing, so that when His glory [filled with His radiance and splendor] is revealed, you may rejoice with great joy.
