Acts 7:54-60

When Stephen had finished speaking, he was taken out of the city and stoned. The truth had so inflamed his accusers that they could not hold back any longer and filled with anger, they put aside Roman law and executed Stephen (remember, they couldn't kill Jesus and had to have the Romans do it). As Stephen was being stoned, he used his last words to pray that God would not hold it against them.

As hard as it may be, we are to pray for our enemies. Even when we are being hassled, put down, ostracized, or hurt, we should pray for our tormentors. This is a true test of love - when you show love for someone who has shown you anything but.
