Matthew 5:12

Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church:

The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.

And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.

Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.

But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.

For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:

Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.

Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the LORD, how I hid an hundred men of the LORD’s prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?

And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
