30 And brother will give brother up to death; the father will stand by and see men execute his child; and in the courts the child will testify against the sire, and gladly see its mother put to death.
31 And men will hate you just because you speak the name of Christ.
32 Thrice blessed is the man who shall be faithful in this coming day of wrath!
33 Go now; when you are persecuted in a place, go seek another place.
34 And when you meet a foe too great for you, behold, the son of man is at your door, and he can speak, and all the hosts of heaven will stand in your defense.
35 But do not hold your present life in great esteem.
36 The time will come when men will take my life; you need not hope to be immune, for they will slay you in the name of God.
37 Men call me Beelzebul and they will call you imps.
38 Be not afraid of what men say and do; they have no power over soul; they may abuse and may destroy the body of the flesh; but that is all.
39 They do not know the God who holds the issues of the soul within his hands, who can destroy the soul.
