Matthew 5:10-12

10 a“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for btheirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 c“Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely don my account. 12 eRejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for fso they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Matthew 10:22

22 gand you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. hBut the one who endures to the end will be saved.

Mark 13:9-13

9 i“But jbe on your guard. For they will deliver you over to councils, and you will be beaten kin synagogues, and you will stand before lgovernors and mkings for my sake, nto bear witness before them. 10And the gospel must first be proclaimed oto all nations. 11And when they bring you to trial and deliver you over, pdo not be anxious beforehand what you are to say, but say qwhatever is given you in that hour, rfor it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. 12 sAnd brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death. 13 tAnd you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. uBut the one who endures to the end will be saved.

John 7:7

7The world cannot hate you, but vit hates me because I testify about it that wits works are evil.

John 15:18-20

The Hatred of the World

18 x“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19 yIf you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because zyou are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20Remember the word that I said to you: aa‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, abthey will also persecute you. acIf they kept my word, they will also keep yours.

John 17:14

14 adI have given them your word, and aethe world has hated them afbecause they are not of the world, agjust as I am not of the world.
