 ANSWER:  A

 ¹¹ “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. ¹² Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

This should be the number one passage quoted for people.

for chrissakes, lighten up Bill

No one follows this preachment.  No one.  People are highly defensive of their religion and their personal beliefs.  But the next time anyone is giving someone else grief over their beliefs just lean in and say "Jesus says your blessed."

 i'm sure they will thank you
