Matthew 5:10-12

Williams(i) 10 "Blessed are those who suffer persecution for being and doing right, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to them. 11 "Blessed are you when people abuse you, and persecute you, and keep on falsely telling all sorts of evil against you for my sake. 12 Keep on rejoicing and leaping for ecstasy, for your reward will be rich in heaven; for this is the way they persecuted the prophets who lived before you.
