Suffering

Peace I leave with you;
My peace I give you.
I do not give to you as the world gives.
Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

There is surely a future hope for you,
and your hope will not be cut off.

All men will hate you because of Me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

For the LORD gives wisdom, and from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.

Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

My soul is weary with sorrow;
strengthen me according to Your word.

Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

The arrogant mock me without restraint,
but I do not turn from Your law.
