Then they will hand you over to persecution and they will put you to death, and you will be hated by all the heathen because you bear my name.

You will be hated by everyone, because you bear my name. But he who holds out to the end will be saved.

and you will be hated by everyone because you bear my name.

You will bear me witness that I said, 'I am not the Christ; I have been sent in advance of him.'

as the high priest and the whole council will bear me witness. In fact, they gave me letters to the brothers in Damascus and I went there to bind those who were there and bring them back to Jerusalem to be punished.

By Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I think him, I have written you this short letter to encourage you and bear my testimony that this is what the true mercy of God means. Stand fast in it.
