Esteeming G2233 the reproach G3680 of Christ G5547 greater G3187 riches G4149 than the treasures G2344 in Egypt: G125 for he had respect G578 to the recompense G3405 of the reward. G3405

For consider G357 him that endured G5278 such G5108 contradiction G485 of sinners G268 against G1519 himself, G848 lest G2443 G3361 you be wearied G2577 and faint G1590 in your G5216 minds. G5590

Blessed G3107 are you, when G3752 men shall revile G3679 you, and persecute G1377 you, and shall say G2036 all G3956 manner of evil G4190 G4487 against G2596 you falsely, G5574 for my sake. G1752

The disciple G3101 is not above G5228 his master, G1320 nor G3761 the servant G1401 above G5228 his lord. G2962

It is enough G713 for the disciple G3101 that he be as his master, G1320 and the servant G1401 as his lord. G2962 If G1487 they have called G2564 the master G1320 of the house G3617 Beelzebub, G954 how G4214 much G4214 more G3123 shall they call them of his household? G3615

Then G5119 said G2036 Jesus G2424 to his disciples, G3101 If G1487 any G1536 man will G2309 come G2064 after G3694 me, let him deny G533 himself, G1438 and take G142 up his cross, G4716 and follow G190 me.

And as they came G1831 out, they found G2147 a man G444 of Cyrene, G2957 Simon G4613 by name: G3686 him they compelled G29 to bear G142 his cross. G4716

And they that passed G3899 by reviled G987 him, wagging G2795 their heads, G2776

Likewise G3668 also G1161 the chief G749 priests G749 mocking G1702 him, with the scribes G1122 and elders, G4245 said, G3004

He trusted G3982 in God; G2316 let him deliver G4506 him now, G3568 if G1487 he will G2309 have him: for he said, G2036 I am G1510 the Son G5207 of God. G2316

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 they departed G4198 from the presence G4383 of the council, G4892 rejoicing G5463 that they were counted G2661 worthy G2661 to suffer G818 shame G818 for his name. G3686

We are fools G3474 for Christ's G5547 sake, but you are wise G5429 in Christ; G5547 we are weak, G772 but you are strong; G2478 you are honorable, G1741 but we are despised. G820

And labor, G2872 working G2038 with our own G2398 hands: G5495 being reviled, G3058 we bless; G2127 being persecuted, G1377 we suffer G430 it:

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

Wherein G1722 G3757 they think it strange G3579 that you run G4936 not with them to the same G846 excess G401 of riot, G810 speaking G987 evil G987 of you:

If G1487 you be reproached G3679 for the name G3686 of Christ, G5547 happy G3107 are you; for the spirit G4151 of glory G1391 and of God G2316 rests G373 on G2596 you: on their part he is evil G987 spoken G987 of, but on G2596 your G5209 part he is glorified. G1392

Yet G1161 if G1487 any man suffer as a Christian, G5546 let him not be ashamed; G153 but let him glorify G1392 God G2316 on G1722 this G5129 behalf. G3313
