Acts 21:13
13Then Paul answered, a“What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For bI am ready not only to be imprisoned but even to die in Jerusalem cfor the name of the Lord Jesus.”Romans 8:35-39
35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36As it is written,d“For your sake ewe are being killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”
37No, in all these things we are more than fconquerors through ghim who loved us. 38For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
2 Timothy 4:6-8
6For hI am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my ideparture has come. 7 jI have fought the good fight, kI have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8Henceforth there is llaid up for me mthe crown of righteousness, which the Lord, nthe righteous judge, will award to me on othat day, and not only to me but also to all pwho have loved his appearing.Hebrews 11:35
35 qWomen received back their dead by resurrection. Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, so that they might rise again to a better life.1 Peter 3:14
14 rBut even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you will be blessed. sHave no fear of them, tnor be troubled,Revelation of John 2:10
10Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, uthat you may be tested, and for vten days wyou will have tribulation. xBe faithful yunto death, and I will give you zthe crown of life.
