Luke 21:13

This will be a time for you to serve as witnesses.

I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that my situation has actually turned out to advance the gospel:

and by not being intimidated in any way by your opponents. This is a sign of their destruction, but of your salvation -- a sign which is from God.

so that no one would be shaken by these afflictions. For you yourselves know that we are destined for this.

This is evidence of God's righteous judgment, to make you worthy of the kingdom of God, for which in fact you are suffering.
