Matthew 24:9

Ye shall be hated (esesqe misoumenoi). Periphrastic future passive to emphasize the continuous process of the linear action. For tribulation (qlipsin see Acts 13:21 ), a word common in the Acts, Epistles, and Apocalypse for the oppression (pressure) that the Christians received. For my name's sake (dia to onoma mou). The most glorious name in the world today, but soon to be a byword of shame ( Acts 5:41 ). The disciples would count it an honour to be dishonoured for the Name's sake.
