Matthew 5:11 Douay-Rheims

Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake:

John Chrysostom (attributed)

Patristic

For by how much any is pleased with the praise of men, by so much is he grieved with their evil speaking. But if you seek your glory in heaven, you will not fear any slanders on earth.
