And he shall cast down death [into] without end, and the Lord God shall do away each tear from each face; and he shall do away the shame of his people from each land, for the Lord spake.
Ye people, that know the just [or rightwise] man, hear me, my law is in the heart of them; do not ye dread the shame of men, and dread ye not the blasphemies of them.
Hear ye the word of the Lord, which quake at his word; your brethren hating you, and casting away for my name, said, The Lord be glorified, and we shall see in your gladness; forsooth they shall be shamed.
it is enough to the disciple, that he be as his master, and to the servant as his lord. If they have called the husbandman, [or the father of the meine], Beelzebub, how much more his household meine?

and they have not root in them-selves, but they be lasting a little time [or they be temporal]; afterward when tribulation riseth, and persecution for the word, anon they be caused to stumble.
For he that will make safe his life, shall lose it, [or Soothly whoso will make his soul, that is, his life, safe, shall lose it]; and he that loseth his life for me, and for the gospel, shall make it safe.
But before all these things they shall set their hands on you, and shall pursue you, betaking into synagogues and keepings, [either prisons], and drawing you to kings and to justices, for my name;
Ye shall be blessed, when men shall hate you, and separate you away, and put reproof to you [or shall put shame on you], and cast out your name as evil, for man’s Son.
If ye be despised for the name of Christ, ye shall be blessed; for that that is of the honour, and of the glory, and of the virtue of God, and the Spirit that is his, shall rest on you.
