¹⁰ “Happy are those who have been persecuted+ for righteousness’ sake, since the kingdom of the heavens belongs to them.

¹⁴ I have given your word to them, but the world has hated+ them, because they are no part of the world, just as I am no part of the world.+

¹⁴ But even if YOU should suffer for the sake of righteousness, YOU are happy.+ However, the object of their fear do not YOU fear,+ neither become agitated.+
