1 Thessalonians 2:14-15

14 For you, brothers, ^abecame imitators of ^bthe churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea. For ^cyou suffered the same things from your own countrymen ^das they did from the Jews, ^{▼▼The Greek word Ioudaioi can refer to Jewish religious leaders and others under their influence, who opposed the Christian faith in that time} 15 ^fwho killed both the Lord Jesus and ^gthe prophets, and drove us out, and displease God and ^hoppose all mankind

1 Thessalonians 3:2-4

2 and we ⁱsent Timothy, ^jour brother and God’s coworker ^{▼▼Some manuscripts servant} in the gospel of Christ, to establish and exhort you in your faith, 3 that no one be moved by these afflictions. For you yourselves know that ^lwe are destined for this. 4 For when we were with you, we kept telling you beforehand that we were to suffer affliction, ^mjust as it has come to pass, and just as you know.

2 Timothy 2:10-12

10 Therefore ⁿI endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain ^othe salvation that is in Christ Jesus with ^peternal glory. 11 The saying is ^qtrustworthy, for:

^rIf we have died with him, we will also ^slive with him;
12 ^tif we endure, we will also reign with him;
^uif we deny him, he also will deny us;

2 Timothy 4:7

7 ^vI have fought the good fight, ^wI have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

Hebrews 10:32-33

32 But recall the former days when, after ^xyou were enlightened, you endured ^ya hard struggle with sufferings, 33 sometimes being ^zpublicly exposed to reproach and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated.

Hebrews 12:4

4 In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.

Revelation of John 2:10-11

10 Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, ^aathat you may be tested, and for ^abten days ^acyou will have tribulation. ^adBe faithful ^aeunto death, and I will give you ^afthe crown of life. 11 ^agHe who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. ^ahThe one who conquers will not be hurt by ^aithe second death.’
