22 Blessed are you when people hate you,

when they exclude you and insult you

and reject your name as evil,

because of the Son of Man.

22 “Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man!

22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake.

22 What blessings await you when people hate you and exclude you and mock you and curse you as evil because you follow the Son of Man.

22 “People will hate you, shut you out, insult you, and say you are evil because you follow the Son of Man. But when they do, you will be blessed.

insult you, and slander you 

because you are committed to the Son of Man. 

22 You are blessed when people hate you,

when they have nothing to do with you

and say bad things about you,

and when they treat your name as something evil.
