Kasem Persecution for Saed Bilong Raeteous Fasin

Maet iu herem samfala fren and relative say Olketa Witness Bilong Jehovah kasem trabel from law, samfala gavman tambuim work bilong olketa, or they badfala pipol. Why nao samfala tok olsem againstim olketa?

Diswan no from olketa Witness no respectim law but from olketa followim footstep bilong Jesus. Jesus talem olketa disaepol bilong hem hao samfala man bae tok daonem olketa, persecutim olketa, and liar for talem enikaen badfala samting againstim olketa. Diswan hem from main wan wea againstim God, hem nao Satan, hem god bilong disfala world, and hem laek for mekem olketa man no servim God.—Matthew 5:10-12; 10:16-22, 34-39; 24:9, 10; John 15:17–16:3; 2 Timothy 3:12; 1 Peter 5:8; Revelation 12:17.

Taem olketa kasholem olketa aposol and tekem olketa long kot, diswan no bikos they criminal, pipol wea duim raf fasin, or againstim law. Diswan bikos olketa preachim gud nius. Taem aposol Paul tekem case bilong hem long hae kot, diswan hem for defendim and strongim long saed long law way wea olketa Kristian fit for preachim gud nius.—Acts 4:18-20; 5:⁠28-32; Philippians 1:7.

Distaem, Olketa Witness Bilong Jehovah they Kristian wea followim law bilong kantri and peim tax and showim aot respect for olketa wea garem paoa. Olketa peim back olketa samting bilong Caesar long Caesar and olketa samting bilong God long God. Sapos olketa garem problem withim eni bigman long gavman, diswan hem from gavman no luksavvy long preaching work bilong olketa, or bikos olketa no tek saed long eni samting bilong olketa nation. But long disfala samting Olketa Witness Bilong Jehovah mas garem sem tingting olsem olketa aposol tu, wea say: “Mifala mas obeyim God olsem ruler, winim olketa man.”—Acts 5:29; Mark 12:17; John 18:36; Titus 3:1, 2.

Olketa Witness Bilong Jehovah no lukaotem persecution but olketa want for garem kwaet living. But, sapos olketa kasem persecution bikos olketa followim law bilong God and example bilong Jesus Kraest, olketa hapi for stand strong long hem.—Matthew 5:10-12; Acts 5:40, 41; 1 Corinthians 4:12; 1 Timothy 2:2; 1 Peter 3:14, 15; 4:12-16.

• Why nao pipol tok daonem and persecutim olketa servant bilong Jehovah?

• Why nao samfala taem Olketa Witness Bilong Jehovah garem problem withim samfala bigman long gavman, olsem hem happen long olketa Kristian aposol?
