For which cause I also suffer these things; but I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I have been persuaded that He is able to guard that which I have committed to Him until that Day.

And I spoke of Your testimonies before kings, and was not ashamed.

Hear Me, you that know judgment, the people in whose heart is My law; fear not the reproach of men, and be not overcome by their contempt.

For whosoever is ashamed of Me and My words among this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him, whenever He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels."

For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father's, and of the holy angels.

Then they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing because they were counted worthy to be dishonored on behalf of the name of Jesus.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes, both to the Jew first and to the Greek.

Just as it is written: "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and rock of offense, and everyone believing on Him will not be put to shame."

Therefore I beseech [you] not to lose heart at my tribulations on your behalf, which is your glory.

If you are reviled in the name of Christ, blessed are you, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On the one hand He is blasphemed, but on the other He is glorified.

The law of the Lord is perfect, converting souls; the testimony of the Lord is faithful, instructing babes.

For He has given the law for a help, that they should not speak according to this word, concerning which there are no gifts to give for it.

And you also will testify, because you have been with Me from the beginning.

And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he tells the truth, so that you may believe.

This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,

who gave Himself a ransom for all, the testimony in due time;

And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world.

And this is the testimony: that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.

He that has the Son has life; he that does not have the Son of God does not have life.

who testified to the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, as many things as He saw, both the things that are and those that must happen after these.

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

And I fell before his feet to worship him. But he said to me, "See [that you do] not! I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me, and he was not ashamed of my chain;

in which I endure hardship unto chains as an evildoer; but the word of God is not chained.

For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus in behalf of you Gentiles--

Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, urge you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called,

just as it is right for me to think this concerning you all, because I have you in my heart, both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers with me of grace.

You therefore endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

Faithful is this word: For if we died with [Him], we shall also live with [Him].

If we endure, we shall also reign with [Him]. If we deny [Him], He also will deny us.

You however be watchful in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

And if children, then heirs--heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer together, so that we may also be glorified together.

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy [to be compared] with the coming glory to be revealed in us.

Just as it is written: "For Your sake we are put to death the whole day long; we are accounted as sheep for slaughter."

For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last, as men appointed to death; for we became a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.

Even unto this present hour we both hunger and thirst, and we are naked, and beaten, and homeless.

being defamed, we encourage; we have become as the sweepings of the world, the offscouring of all things until now.

Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I [am] even more: in labors far more, in beatings immeasurably, in imprisonments far more, in deaths often.

Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have spent in the depth [of the sea].

in labor and hardship, in sleepless nights often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness--

[so as] to know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for His body, which is the church,

For even when we were with you, we were telling you in advance that we were going to be afflicted, just as it also happened, and you know.

but inasmuch as you partake in the sufferings of Christ, rejoice, in order that also at the unveiling of His glory, you may rejoice with great happiness.

For let not anyone of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evildoer, or as a meddler in other people's affairs;

I, John, your brother and partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and endurance in Christ Jesus, came to be on the island that is called Patmos on account of the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the proclamation might be fulfilled, and all the Gentiles might hear, and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

[] Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to [the] revelation of [the] mystery kept secret since the world began,

through the word of truth, through the power of God, through the weapons of righteousness on the right hand and on the left hand,

And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Therefore I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in calamities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For whenever I am weak, then I am strong.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

being strengthened with all power, according to the might of His glory, for all endurance and longsuffering with joy;

who by the power of God [are] being guarded through faith for the salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Now to Him who is able to keep them from stumbling, and to make you stand before His glory, blameless with exultation,
