Matthew 10:22
22 fand you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. gBut the one who endures to the end will be saved.1 Corinthians 9:18-22
18What then is my reward? That in my preaching hI may present the gospel free of charge, so as not to make full use of my right in the gospel.19For ithough I am free from all, jI have made myself a servant to all, that I might kwin more of them. 20 lTo the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. 21To mthose outside the law I became nas one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but ounder the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. 22 pTo the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. qI have become all things to all people, that rby all means I might save some.
2 Corinthians 11:8-12
8I robbed other churches by accepting support from them in order to serve you. 9And when I was with you and was sin need, tI did not burden anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia usupplied my need. So I refrained and will refrain vfrom burdening you in any way. 10 wAs the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine xwill not be silenced in the regions of Achaia. 11And why? yBecause I do not love you? zGod knows I do!12And what I am doing I will continue to do, aain order to undermine the claim of those who would like to claim that in their boasted mission they work on the same terms as we do.
2 Thessalonians 1:4
4Therefore abwe ourselves boast about you acin the churches of God for your steadfastness and faith adin all your persecutions and in the afflictions that you are enduring.
