And when they had laid G2007 many G4183 stripes G4127 on them, they cast G906 them into G1519 prison, G5438 charging G3853 the jailor G1200 to keep G5083 them safely: G806

And at G2596 midnight G3317 Paul G3972 and Silas G4609 prayed, G4336 and sang G5214 praises to God: G2316 and the prisoners G1198 heard G1874 them.

I will greatly rejoice H7797 in the LORD, H3068 my soul H5315 shall be joyful H1523 in my God; H430 for he has clothed H3847 me with the garments H899 of salvation, H3468 he has covered H3271 me with the robe H4598 of righteousness, H6666 as a bridegroom H2860 decks H3547 himself with ornaments, H6287 and as a bride H3618 adorns H5710 herself with her jewels. H3627

Behold, H2009 my servants H5650 shall sing H7442 for joy H2898 of heart, H3820 but you shall cry H6817 for sorrow H3511 of heart, H3820 and shall howl H3213 for vexation H7667 of spirit. H7307

Hear H8085 the word H1697 of the LORD, H3068 you that tremble H2730 at H413 his word; H1697 Your brothers H251 that hated H8130 you, that cast H5077 you out for my name's H8034 sake, H4616 said, H559 Let the LORD H3068 be glorified: H3513 but he shall appear H7200 to your joy, H8057 and they shall be ashamed. H954

Blessed G3107 are they which are persecuted G1377 for righteousness' G1343 sake: G1752 for theirs G846 is the kingdom G932 of heaven. G3772

Rejoice, G5463 and be exceeding glad: G21 for great G4183 is your G5216 reward G3408 in heaven: G3772 for so G3779 persecuted G1377 they the prophets G4396 which G3588 were before G4253 you.

Blessed G3107 are you, when G3752 men G444 shall hate G3404 you, and when G3752 they shall separate G873 you from their company, and shall reproach G3679 you, and cast G1544 out your G5216 name G3686 as evil, G4190 for the Son G5207 of man's G444 sake. G1752

And not only G3440 so, but we glory G2744 in tribulations G2347 also: G2532 knowing G1492 that tribulation G2347 works G2716 patience; G5281

Therefore G1352 I take pleasure G2106 in infirmities, G769 in reproaches, G5196 in necessities, G318 in persecutions, G1375 in distresses G4730 for Christ's G5547 sake: for when G3752 I am G1510 weak, G770 then G5119 am G1510 I strong. G1415

For to you it is given G5483 in the behalf G5228 of Christ, G5547 not only G3440 to believe G4100 on G1519 him, but also G2532 to suffer G3958 for his sake;

For you had compassion G4834 of me in my bonds, G1199 and took G4327 joyfully G3326 G5479 the spoiling G724 of your G5216 goods, G5224 knowing G1097 in yourselves G1438 that you have G2192 in heaven G3772 a better G2909 and an enduring G3306 substance. G5223

My brothers, G80 count G2233 it all G3956 joy G5479 when G3752 you fall G4045 into divers G4164 temptations; G3986

But rejoice, G5463 inasmuch G2526 as you are partakers G2841 of Christ's G5547 sufferings; G3804 that, when G1722 G3588 his glory G1391 shall be revealed, G602 you may be glad G5463 also G2532 with exceeding joy. G21

But let none G3361 of you suffer G3958 as a murderer, G5406 or G2228 as a thief, G2812 or G2228 as an evildoer, G2555 or G2228 as a busybody G244 in other G244 men's matters.

Looking G872 to Jesus G2424 the author G747 and finisher G5047 of our faith; G4102 who G3739 for the joy G5479 that was set G4295 before G4295 him endured G5278 the cross, G4716 despising G2706 the shame, G152 and is set G2523 down G2523 at G1722 the right G1188 hand of the throne G2362 of God. G2316
