Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:10
The good works of man are but filthy rags before God.
Cant remember I'm not a hardcore bible thumper.
Also I'm not sure mathew is talking about homos. My version is a little different:
And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, 3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. 10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11
