Matthew 5:10-12

Thomson(i) 10 Happy they who are persecuted for righteousness' sake; for the kingdom of the heavens is theirs. 11 Happy are ye when men will revile and persecute you, and accuse you falsely of every evil thing on my account. 12 Rejoice and exult triumphantly; for great will be your reward in heaven: for thus they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
