Jesus Christ said,

Remember the words I spoke to you:

'If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you also.' (John15:20).

They will treat you this way because of my name,

for they do not know the One (God) who sent Me. (John 15:21).

In his (God) justice he will pay back those who persecute you.

(2 Thessalonians 1:6).

Jesus said, "All men will hate you because of Me,

but he who stands firm to the end will be saved."

(Matthew 10:22, Mark 13:13).

Help me Lord, not be among those who "when trouble or persecution comes because of the Word, they quickly fall away." (Mark 4:17).
