acv@Matthew:5:10 @ Blessed are those who have been persecuted because of righteousness, because the kingdom of the heavens is theirs.
acv@Matthew:5:11 @ Blessed are ye when they revile you, and persecute you, and say every evil word, being deceitful against you because of me.
acv@Matthew:5:12 @ Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, because your reward is great in the heavens, for so they persecuted the prophets before you.
