But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death, and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.

In which I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.

If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:

Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
