“If you deny Me before men, I will deny you before My Father in heaven.”—–Jesus<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“But when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand, or premeditate what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.”—–Jesus<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”—–Jesus<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, \u2018A servant is not greater than his master.\u2019 If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. But all these things they will do to you for My name\u2019s sake.”—–Jesus<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
