Matthew 10:24-28
24
“The student is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his master.
25
It is enough for students to be like their teachers, and servants like their masters. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!
26
“So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.
27
What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs.
28
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

1 Peter 3:13-16
13
Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good?
14
But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear their threats ; do not be frightened.”
15
But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,
16
keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.

1 Peter 4:12-19
12
Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.
13
But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.
14
If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.
15
If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler.
16
However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.
17
For it is time for judgment to begin with God’s household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?
18
And, “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”
19
So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
