"Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Rejoice and be exceeding glad; for great is your reward in heaven; for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you," Matt. 6:11, 12.

"For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ," 1 Cor. 3:11.
