Matthew 13:21

And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away.

A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.

But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?

The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.

And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended.

And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.

But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
