Accept persecution for the sake of the kingdom

Jesus taught that a righteous person who is engaging the world will be persecuted. But within the kingdom of heaven, righteousness is the norm.

Matthew 5:10 "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

Do we ignore Jesus' teaching that a righteous person engaged in the world will be persecuted.  However, within the kingdom of heaven, righteousness is the norm.

Note what it means to be blessed on the Oct 9th post.
