²⁹ And Jesus answering said, `Verily I say to you, there is no one who left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for my sake, and for the good news',

³ and thou didst bear, and hast endurance, and because of my name hast toiled, and hast not been weary.

³⁵ for whoever may will to save his life shall lose it; and whoever may lose his life for my sake and for the good news' sake, he shall save it;

¹ And Jehovah saith unto Abram, `Go for thyself, from thy land, and from thy kindred, and from the house of thy father, unto the land which I shew thee.

² And I make thee become a great nation, and bless thee, and make thy name great; and be thou a blessing.

³ And I bless those blessing thee, and him who is disesteeming thee I curse, and blessed in thee have been all families of the ground.'

²⁴ by faith Moses, having become great, did refuse to be called a son of the daughter of Pharaoh,

²⁵ having chosen rather to be afflicted with the people of God, than to have sin's pleasure for a season,

²⁶ greater wealth having reckoned the reproach of the Christ than the treasures in Egypt, for he did look to the recompense of reward;

²³ And this I do because of the good news, that a fellow-partaker of it I may become;

²⁸ `And ye -- ye are those who have remained with me in my temptations,

²⁹ and I appoint to you, as my Father did appoint to me, a kingdom,

³⁰ that ye may eat and may drink at my table, in my kingdom, and may sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.'

¹⁸ and before governors and kings ye shall be brought for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.

¹⁰ `Happy those persecuted for righteousness' sake -- because theirs is the reign of the heavens.

¹¹ `Happy are ye whenever they may reproach you, and may persecute, and may say any evil thing against you falsely for my sake --

⁹ Who is saying of his father and his mother, I have not seen him; And his brethren he hath not discerned, And his sons he hath not known; For they have observed Thy saying, And Thy covenant they keep.

¹⁰ They teach Thy judgments to Jacob, And Thy law to Israel; They put perfume in Thy nose, And whole burnt-offering on Thine altar.

¹¹ Bless, O Jehovah, his strength, And the work of his hands Thou acceptest, Smite the loins of his withstanders, And of those hating him -- that they rise not!

²⁰ and your eye hath no pity on your vessels, for the good of all the land of Egypt `is' yours.'
