Jacob 2:25 And now my brethren, I have spoken unto you concerning pride; And those of you which have afflicted your neighbor and
persecuted him because that ye were proud in your hearts of the things which God hath given you, what say ye of it?
Mosiah 11:148 And now all these things did Alma and his fellow laborers do which were over the church, Walking in all diligence, Teaching the word of God in all things, Suffering all manner of afflictions, Being
persecuted by all those who did not belong to the church of God;
Mosiah 11:201 Traveling round about through all the land, Publishing to all the people the things which they had heard and seen, And preaching the word of God in much tribulation, being greatly
persecuted by those which were unbelievers, being smitten by many of them.
3 Nephi 5:59 for ye shall have great joy and be exceeding glad, for great shall be your reward in heaven; For so
persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
