2 Timothy 3:10-13 (New International Version)
10You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, 11persecutions, sufferings—what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. 12In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13while evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
This verse was quoted this morning at church. I knew as Christians we could be subject to persecution for His sake. However this have never stuck out to me before. If we desire to live Godly lives, it basically rules out any chance that we might escape persecution. ;-)
