¹² They reward me evil for good, To the bereaving of my soul.

¹² unlike Cain, who was of the evil one, and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

¹⁴ If you are insulted for the name of Christ, blessed are you; because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.

¹⁵ For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or as a meddler in other men's matters.

¹⁶ But if one of you suffers for being a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this matter.

¹⁷ For it is better, if the will of God should so will, that you suffer for doing well than for doing evil.

¹⁸ Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;

³² Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?"

¹⁰ Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

¹⁶ they were a wall to us both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.

⁵ David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and killed them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.

⁴ Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, Don't let the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you:

⁵ for he put his life in his hand, and struck the Philistine, and Yahweh worked a great victory for all Israel: you saw it, and did rejoice; why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?

⁶ Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan: and Saul swore, As Yahweh lives, he shall not be put to death.
