hide my love of the true God and worship in secret. These are but a few of God's words that bear witness as to why I could not pretend to worship a false God.

**********************************************************

According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.

Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like
manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.

For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth

who would be left to keep the faith going, if everyone did the right thing according to a literal understanding of those verses.

The only people left to pass the faith on (in secret) would be those who did the wrong thing. So how wrong could it be? ;-)
