Special Blessings for the Persecuted are promised several times, so if you are being persecuted you can be sure that the LORD* will pay you back for all you are going through.

1 Peter 3:13. And who is the one who will harm you if you would be eager for moral goodness? 14. But even if you might suffer because of righteousness, you are blessed. And you should not be afraid of them and you should not let yourselves be intimidated, 15. but you must now hold our Lord the Messiah in reverence in your hearts, always prepared with a reply for everyone who questions your report about the hope within you, 16. but with gentleness and respect, because you have a clear conscience, so that while you are being spoken evil of, those who revile you would be put to shame by your good Way of life in Messiah. 17. It is better to suffer for doing good, if he might want the will of God, rather than for doing wrong. 18. Because Messiah also once suffered concerning sin, the righteous One on behalf of the unjust, so that He could bring you to God when He did indeed die in the flesh, but then was made alive by the Spirit: 19. with Whom also, when He went, He preached to those spirits in prison, 20. to those formerly disobedient. While the patience of God was eagerly awaiting, in the days of Noah a box (ark) was being built for which a few, that is eight lives, were rescued through water. 21. And now immersion, which is a fulfillment of the type, saves you, not in removal of dirt from flesh, but an appeal for a clear conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Y’shua Messiah, 22. Who went into heaven and is on the right hand of God, with angels and authorities and powers being subject to Him.
