Second Nephi 8:7

Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart I have written my law, fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

When we follow God, we can expect persecution, but we should not fear it. In the eventual justice of God, those who follow Him will triumph over all their foes, and the enemies of God will be vanquished. God’s ability to save is not diminished by the opinions and opposition of men. Those who fight against God will ultimately be disappointed. Their puny efforts will prove to be ineffectual, and they will be consumed. The enemies and detractors of the Church one by one are discredited or lose interest as they fail to make their case, while the Church moves ever forward and thrives.
