Matt 5:11 “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Matt 16:25 "For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it."
All good words, but when it comes down to losing your head or lying to your captors, there is only one choice.
