Matthew 10:16-22 NRSV
"16 ‘See, I am sending you out like sheep into the midst of wolves;
so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.
17 Beware of them, for they will hand you over to councils
and flog you in their synagogues;
18 and you will be dragged before governors
and kings because of me,
as a testimony to them and the Gentiles.
19 When they hand you over,
do not worry about how you are to speak
or what you are to say;
for what you are to say will be given to you at that time;
20 for it is not you who speak,
but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
21 Brother will betray brother to death,
and a father his child,
and children will rise against parents
and have them put to death;
22 and you will be hated by all because of my name.
But the one who endures to the end will be saved."
Yeshua told us it will be this way.
"Here is the patience of the Saints: those here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus." Rev. 14:12 (Geneva 1560)
