If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you {\i from their company}, and reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.
Wherefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.\par
