Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
All Commentaries on 2 Timothy 3:12 Go To 2 Timothy 3
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
Persecution, therefore, will never be lacking. For, when our enemies from without leave off raging and there ensues a span of tranquillity—even of genuine tranquillity and great consolation at least to the weak—we are not without enemies within, the many whose scandalous lives wound the hearts of the devout…. So it is that those who want to live piously in Christ must suffer the spiritual persecution of these and other aberrations in thought and morals, even when they are free from physical violence and vexation. .
