'Come to Me, all you that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke on you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest to your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.' Has the Bible any word for the persecuted, the maligned, the oppressed?

'It does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is.' 'And God shall wipe away all tears . . . and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying.' 1. How can I prove the inspiration of the Bible? By the way it answers to the heart of man.
