Q201. Can these people then, that have this faith, endure to have this Christ spoken against?

O! No! This is a sword in their bones, and a burden that they cannot bear.

Scripture Proofs — King James Version

Psalm 42:10

As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?

Zephaniah 3:19

Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.
