“Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake” (Matthew 5:11).

“Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8-9).

“Blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it” (Luke 11:28).

“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away” (Matthew 24:35).

“In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).

“I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world” (Matthew 28:20).
