"“Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”— Matthew 5:10 . Jesus does not present to His followers the hope of attaining earthly glory and riches, and of having a life free from trial, but He presents to them the privilege of walking with their Master in the paths of self-denial and reproach, because the world knows them not. MB 29"
"Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
