Luke 6:23

Happiness And Sorrow

²² Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they expel you from among them, and taunt you, and reject your Name as an evil thing--on account of the Son of Man. ²³  Then indeed you may be glad and dance for joy, for be sure that your reward in Heaven will be great; for that is what their ancestors did to the Prophets. ²⁴ But 'alas for you who are rich,' for you have had your comforts in full.
