"Blessed are you when they have insulted and persecuted you, and have said every cruel thing about you falsely for my sake.

διώξωσιν diōxōsin “they may persecute [you]”

Be joyful and triumphant, because your reward is great in the Heavens; for so were the Prophets before you persecuted.

ἐδίωξαν ediōxan “they persecuted”

"For this reason also the Wisdom of God has said, `I will send Prophets and Apostles to them, of whom they will kill some and persecute others,'

And they will say to you, `See there!' `See here!' Do not start off and go in pursuit.

διώξητε. diōxēte “may follow.”

"But before all these things happen they will lay hands on you and persecute you. They will deliver you up to synagogues and to prison, and you will be brought before kings and governors for my sake.

and on this account the Jews began to persecute Jesus--because He did these things on the Sabbath.

ἐδίωκον ediōkon “were persecuting”

Bear in mind what I said to you, `A servant is not superior to his master.' If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.

ἐδίωξαν ediōxan “they persecuted”διώξουσιν· diōxousin “they will persecute;”

"`Who art Thou, Lord?' I asked. "`I am Jesus whom you are persecuting,' the Lord replied.

To what conclusion does this bring us? Why, that the Gentiles, who were not in pursuit of righteousness, have overtaken it--a righteousness, however, which arises from faith;

διώκοντα diōkonta “pursuing”

while the descendants of Israel, who were in pursuit of a Law that could give righteousness, have not arrived at one.

διώκων diōkōn “pursuing”

Relieve the necessities of God's people; always practise hospitality.

διώκοντες· diōkontes “pursuing;”

Invoke blessings on your persecutors--blessings, not curses.

διώκοντας diōkontas “persecuting”

Therefore let us aim at whatever makes for peace and mutual upbuilding of character.

διώκωμεν diōkōmen “we may pursue”
