God Honoured by His Suffering Servants
T. Hall, B. D. 2 Timothy 3:12 Yes, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. Hereby we honour God, and so bring honour to ourselves. God hath much honour by His suffering servants, when out of love to Him they can sacrifice their lives and estates for Him. God glories in such; as He suffers in their sufferings so He triumphs in their conquests. (T. Hall, B. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. WEB: Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
