| Matthew 5:12 | Rejoice and be exceeding glad, for your reward is very great in heaven: for so they persecuted the prophets, that were before you. | Reward, in Latin merces, in Greek misthos, signifies wages done for hire, and due for work, and presupposes merit. (Bristow) --- If you participate in the sufferings of the prophets, you will equally participate in their glory, their reward. (Haydock) |
