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:
Gregory the Great
(Hom. in Ezech. i. 9. 17.) Yet ought we sometimes to check our defamers, lest by spreading evil reports of us, they corrupt the innocent hearts of those who might hear good from us.
