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.

and thus will they treat you, because they have not known the father, nor me.

Blessed shall you be when men shall revile and persecute you, and falsely charge you with all manner of evil for your attachment to me.

and ye shall be brought before governors and kings upon my account, to bear testimony of me to them and the rest of the Gentiles.

then shall they deliver you up to torments, and to death: and ye shall be hated by all nations upon my account.

blessed are you, when men shall hate you, discard you, reproach you, and treat you as infamous, for your attachment to the son of man.

for I will make him see how much he must suffer for my name.

on the contrary, rejoice at the share you have of sufferings, as well as Christ: that you may likewise triumph, when he shall appear in his glory.

for the future, if there are five persons in one family, they will be divided; three against two, and two against three.
