tribulation

And there came thither certain Jews from An'ti-och and I-co'-ni-um,who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul,drew him out of the city,supposing he had been dead. Howbeit,as the disciples stood round about him,he rose up,and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Der'-be. And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many,they returned again to Lys'-tra, and to I-co'-ni-um, and An'-ti-och, Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. Acts 14:19-22.

persecution

The closer you get to Jesus the more you will be persecuted. Only you and God know to what degree you will be persecuted. It starts with being ostracized. Don't condemn yourself, for you are doing nothing wrong [if you are keeping the commandments of God]. The strength has to come from God. Only God can direct you in the right path; for he will move your heart. 1 thess.1:4-6.

Don't condemn yourself for you are doing nothing wrong (if you are keeping the commandments of God). The strength has to come from God, not people. Only God can direct you in the right path.
