Luke 6:22-24
International Children’s Bible
22 “You are happy when people hate you and are cruel to you. You are happy when they say that you are evil because you belong to the Son of Man. 23 At that time be full of joy, because you have a great reward in heaven. Their fathers were cruel to the prophets in the same way these people are cruel to you.
24 “But how terrible it will be for you who are rich,
because you have had your easy life.
Luke 6:22-24
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
22 Blessed are you when people hate you,
and when they exclude and insult you,
and denounce your name as evil
on account of the Son of Man.(A)
23 Rejoice and leap for joy on that day! Behold, your reward will be great in heaven. For their ancestors treated the prophets in the same way.(B)
24 But woe to you who are rich,
for you have received your consolation.(C)
