I am mocked or persecuted for my faith.
Jesus told His followers to expect it and called it a form of blessing, which sounds strange until you notice the company it puts you in — the prophets were treated the same way. Stay kind, stay excellent at your work, and answer with reasons rather than heat. Where the hostility is criminal or dangerous, take proper steps; meekness is not passivity, and Paul used his legal rights more than once.
Go and see for yourself
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Matthew 5:11
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
1 Peter 3:15
Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
2 Timothy 3:12
