“ Happy are you when people reproach you and persecute you and lyingly say every sort of wicked thing against you for my sake. Rejoice and leap for joy, since your reward is great in the heavens. ”
(‏ ١ بطرس ٣ :‏ ١٤ ؛‏ ٤ :‏ ١٤‏ )‏ وَهِيَ تَقُولُ أَيْضًا :‏ « سُعَدَاءُ أَنْتُمْ مَتَى عَيَّرُوكُمْ وَٱضْطَهَدُوكُمْ وَقَالُوا عَلَيْكُمْ شَتَّى ٱلشُّرُورِ مِنْ أَجْلِي كَاذِبِينَ .‏
