What does the Bible say about being persecuted for righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that those persecuted for righteousness are blessed and have the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:10).

According to Matthew 5:10-12, Jesus pronounces a blessing on those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake. This persecution is a sign of true faith and allegiance to Christ, who Himself was persecuted for embodying righteousness. Believers are called to rejoice when facing persecution, as it affirms their identity as followers of Christ and assures them of their reward in heaven, much like the prophets of old who endured similar hardships.
