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
What sort of people, though, are those who, being afraid to offend the ones they are talking to, not only don’t prepare them for the trials that are looming ahead but even promise them a wellbeing in this world which God himself hasn’t promised to the world? He foretells distress upon distress coming upon the world right up to the end, and do you wish the Christian to be exempt from these distresses? Precisely because he’s Christian, he is going to suffer more in this world.
