Matthew 5:11

The Beatitudes

¹⁰ Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness sake; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ¹¹ Blessed are ye, when men revile you, and persecute you, and say every thing that is bad against you, falsely, for my sake. ¹² Rejoice, and be exceeding glad; for great is your reward in heaven; for so did they persecute the prophets that were before you.
