Persecution not to be Feared
Galatians 6:12
As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised…


Do not fear the frown of the world. When a blind man comes against you in the street you are not angry at him; you say, "He is blind, poor man, or he would not have hurt me." So you may say of the poor worldlings when they speak evil of Christians — they are blind.

(McCheyne.)
