Answered in 5 sources

The Bible teaches that persecution for righteousness is a common experience for believers, as they face trials for their faith in Christ.

Persecution for righteousness' sake is an enduring theme in Scripture, indicating that those who live godly lives will face opposition. Hebrews 11:36-37 recounts the sufferings of God’s people, who experienced mockings, scourgings, and even death due to their faith. Jesus in Matthew 5:10-12 explicitly declares that those who are persecuted for righteousness will be blessed, affirming this reality as a part of the Christian experience. Thus, believers are called to understand and accept persecution as a trial that reflects their allegiance to Christ and His gospel.
