Unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on Him, but also to suffer for His sake. (Phil. 1:29) |
Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. (2 Tim. 3:12) |
These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. (John 16:33) |
Scarce seen, scarce heard, unreckoned, Though thousand worlds be lost, Our eyes have looked on Jesus, And thus we count the cost. |
