Luke 6:22-24

New International Reader's Version

²²Blessed are you when people hate you,
    when they have nothing to do with you
    and say bad things about you,
    and when they treat your name as something evil.
        They do all this because you are followers of the Son of Man.

²³“The prophets of long ago were treated the same way. When these things happen to you, be glad and jump for joy. You will receive many blessings in heaven.

²⁴“But how terrible it will be for you who are rich!
You have already had your easy life.
