10 “Blessed are those who are ^opersecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

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

23 When they ^fpersecute you in one town, flee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

21 So is the one who lays up ^ptreasure for himself and is not ^qrich toward God.”
