Matthew 5:10-12

New American Standard Bible

¹⁰ “Blessed are those who have been ^(A)persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for ^(B)theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

¹¹ “Blessed are you when people ^(C)insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. ¹² Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for ^(D)in this same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
