John 15:20

Hear the word of Yahweh, you who tremble at His word: “Your brothers who hate you, who exclude you for My name’s sake, Have said, ‘Let Yahweh be glorified, that we may see your gladness.’ But they will be put to shame.

“And you will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved.

“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master.

“Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.

“And those are the ones which were sown on the good soil: they who hear the word and accept it and are bearing fruit, thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold.”

“A student is not above his teacher; but everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher.

“Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he will never see death—ever.”

The Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets also; and You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word, he will never taste of death—ever.’

“Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.

“These things I have spoken to you so that you may be kept from stumbling.

“These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”

and we labor, working with our own hands; when we are reviled, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure;

persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;

Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
