10 Blessed are they
which are persecuted for
righteousness' sake: for theirs is
the kingdom of heaven.
11Blessed are ye, when
men shall revile you, and
persecute you, and shall say all
manner of evil against you
falsely, for my sake.
12Rejoice, and be
exceeding glad: for great is your
reward in heaven: for so
persecuted they the prophets which
were before you.
(Matthew 5:10-12)

were sawn asunder, were tempted,

Bible Quotes |
But since he has no root, he lasts
only a short time. When trouble or
persecution comes because of the
word, he quickly falls away.
(Matthew 13:21)
Remember the words I spoke to you:
'No servant is greater than his
master.' If they persecuted me,
they will persecute you also. If
they obeyed my teaching, they will
obey yours also.
(John 15:20)
That
is why, for Christ's sake, I
delight in weaknesses, in insults,
in hardships, in persecutions, in
difficulties. For when I am weak,
then I am strong.
(2 Corinthians 12:10)
10But thou hast fully
known my doctrine, manner of life,
purpose, faith, longsuffering,
charity, patience, 11Persecutions,
afflictions, which came unto me at
Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra;
what persecutions I endured: but
out of them all the Lord delivered
me. 12Yea, and all that will
live godly in Christ Jesus shall
suffer persecution.
(2 Timothy 3:10-12)
Do not be afraid of what you are
about to suffer. I tell you, the
devil will put some of you in
prison to test you, and you will
suffer persecution for ten days.
Be faithful, even to the point of
death, and I will give you the
crown of life.
(Revelation 2:10)

Inspirational Quotes from Famous People |
Tolerance
implies no lack of commitment to
one's own beliefs. Rather it
condemns the oppression or
persecution of others.
--John Fitzgerald Kennedy quotes
(American 35th US President
(1961-63), 1917-1963)
Once you attempt
legislation upon religious
grounds, you open the way for
every kind of intolerance and
religious persecution.
--William Butler Yeats
quotes (Irish
prose Writer, Dramatist and Poet.
Nobel Prize for Literature in
1923. 1865-1939)
Persecution is
not an original feature in any
religion; but it is always the
strongly marked feature of all
religions established by law.
--Thomas Paine quotes
(English born American Writer and
political pamphleteer, whose
'Common Sense' and 'Crisis' papers
were important influences on the
American Revolution. 1737-1809)
Persecution is
the first law of society because
it is always easier to suppress
criticism than to meet it.
--Howard Mumford Jones
quotes
There is no
truth sure enough to justify
persecution.
--John Milton quotes
(English Poet, Historian and
Scholar. Ranks second, only to
Shakespeare, among English poets.
1608-1674)
The most savage
controversies are those about
matters as to which there is no
good evidence either way.
Persecution is used in theology,
not in arithmetic.
--Bertrand Russell quotes
(English Logician and Philosopher
1872-1970)
Religions that
teach brotherly love have been
used as an excuse for persecution,
and our profoundest scientific
insight is made into a means of
mass destruction.
--Bertrand Russell quotes
(English Logician and Philosopher
1872-1970)
Persecution was
at least a sign of personal
interest. Tolerance is composed of
nine parts of apathy to one of
brotherly love.
--Frank Moore Colby quotes
(American writer 1865 - 1925)
The dictum that
truth always triumphs over
persecution is one of the pleasant
falsehoods which men repeat after
one another till they pass into
commonplaces, but which all
experience refutes.
--John Stuart Mill quotes
(English exponent of
Utilitarianism, ethical theorist,
Philosopher, Economist and
Logician. 1806-1873)
