What does the Bible say about being blessed when persecuted?

In 1 Peter 4:14-16, the apostle Peter emphasizes that if anyone suffers as a Christian, they should not be ashamed but glorify God for that. This suffering is linked to the blessings of God, which arise from being identified with Christ. The notion of being blessed or 'bienaventurados' means being doubly happy or fully joyful, especially in the context of suffering for righteousness. This joy stems not from the suffering itself, but from the assurance of God's presence and the hope of glory that awaits those who remain faithful.
