For the joy that was set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the Throne of God. There is a sure Crown of Life, James 1. 12. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation, for when he is tried, he shall receive the Crown of Life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

There is no man that hath left house or brethren or sisters, or Father, or Mother, or Wife, or Children, or Lands for my sake and the Gospels, but he shall receive an hundred fold now in this time, Houses, and Brethren and Sisters, and Mothers, and Children, and Lands with Persecutions, and in the World to come Eternal Life.
