2 Esdras 6:9
[9]For Esau is the end of the world, and Jacob is the beginning of it that followeth.
1 Corinthians 15:23-24
[23]But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
[24]Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
1 Corinthians 15:35-44
[35]But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
[36]Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
[37]And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
[38]But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
[39]All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
[40]There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
[41]There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
[42]So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
[43]It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
[44]It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
Matthew 5:10-12
[10]Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
[11]Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
[12]Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
