I think Art took it that far based upon the fact that the faithful slaves of Christ are told to expect the same amount, if not more so, the rejection and lack of honor from men...

Mat 10:25 It is sufficient for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the Master of the house 1aBeelzebul, how much more those of His household!

With respect to rejection from the outside, I would agree. But such rejection is not presumed from the inside.

But there is no reason to expect that God-fearing people who are getting excellent ministry should not let those ministers hear about it. Surely the ministers should not do it for the purpose of accolades, but there is nothing that suggests they should go out of their way to avoid any.
