Matthew 5:12

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets that were before you.

rejoice ye and be glad, because your reward `is' great in the heavens, for thus did they persecute the prophets who were before you.

Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you.
