2 Timothy 3:12- everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus...

NIV In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,
KJV Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
NASB Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
2 Timothy 3:12

Commentary

Those who want to live godly lives must be prepared for persecution, literally "to be hunted." God does not promise us deliverance from persecution but deliverance through it. Persecution is one of the means God uses to develop our capacity to reign with Him in His kingdom (2:12; Matt. 5:10-12; Rev. 2:10).
