In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,
2 Timothy 3:12
Jesus said this too. I think that we as Christians try to avoid persecution at all cost. The problem is that it causes us to compromise and water down the good news.
But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it,
2 Timothy 3:14
A call to perseverance.
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 NIV
God's word is powerful and extremely useful. If we want to be thoroughly equipped, we should love it, read it, memorize it, meditate on it and pattern our life after it.
