Being persecuted because of righteousness means facing hostility, discrimination, or suffering due to one's commitment to moral principles, ethical beliefs, or religious faith. This often occurs when an individual's values challenge societal norms or injustices, leading to backlash from others. Such persecution can manifest in various forms, including social ostracism, legal repercussions, or even violence, and is often seen as a testament to the strength and integrity of one's convictions.

I think you mean: "Why were Christians persecuted - " They were not only persecuted in the first three centuries, but have always been persecuted, right up to the present day. And it is because their master, Jesus was persecuted - A disciple is not above his master! In Matthew 5 we see that there is a blessing attached to persecutation for Jesus sake, and this state is quite normal for Jesus followers. - 10. Blessed [are] they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11. Blessed are ye, when [men] shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
