2 Timothy 3:12
by Don Costello 2 Timothy 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. a. persecution [1377 * dioko][Strong: a prolonged (and causative) form of a primary verb dio (to flee; compare the base of [deiloV] - deilos 1169 and 1249); to pursue (literally or figuratively); by implication, to persecute:--ensue, follow (after), given to, (suffer) persecute(-ion), press forward. b. It is inevitable that those who live godly lives as a believer in Christ will suffer persecution. In the Parable of the Sower Jesus said persecution would inevitably come because of obedience to the word of God. 1). Matthew 13:21Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. My name is Don Costello.
