56.a. Hebrews 13:13

 

Heb 13:13  Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear the reproach he endured.

Luke 6:22    “Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man!

 Acts 5:41    Then they left the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the name.

 1 Corinthians 4:10-13    We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are held in honor, but we in disrepute.  To the present hour we hunger and thirst, we are poorly dressed and buffeted and homeless,  and we labor, working with our own hands. When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure;  when slandered, we entreat. We have become, and are still, like the scum of the world, the refuse of all things.

 2 Corinthians 12:10   For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

 1 Peter 4:4     With respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of debauchery, and they malign you;

 1 Peter 4:14-16    If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.  But let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler.  Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name.
