16
Also lasset euer Licht leuchten vor den Menschen, damit sie eure guten Werke sehen und euren Vater, der in den Himmeln ist, verherrlichen.
Matthaeus 5:16
Persecute
There are only a few references to "persecution" in the works of Swedenborg, but they say it means "to harass and slander out of hatred," and it generally refers to attacks on the doctrine or beliefs of others.
