29 Jesus said: “Truly I say to you, no one has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for my sake and for the sake of the good news+ 30 who will not get 100 times more now in this period of time*—houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and fields, with persecutions+—and in the coming system of things, everlasting life.

12 In fact, all those desiring to live with godly devotion in association with Christ Jesus will also be persecuted.+

19 For it is agreeable when someone endures hardship* and suffers unjustly because of conscience toward God.+

14 But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are happy.+ However, do not fear what they fear,* nor be disturbed.+
