And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:

Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.

For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:

But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.

But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.

And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.

As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.

And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
