22 “Happy are you whenever men hate you,+ and when they exclude you+ and reproach* you and denounce* your name as wicked for the sake of the Son of man.+ 23 Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for look! your reward is great in heaven, for those are the same things their forefathers used to do to the prophets.+

2 Consider it all joy, my brothers, when you meet with various trials,+

14 If you are being reproached* for the name of Christ, you are happy,+ because the spirit of glory, yes, the spirit of God, is resting upon you.
