Indeed, all who desire to live godly lives in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. But evil people and impostors will flourish. They will deceive others and will themselves be deceived. 2 Timothy 3:12-13

My brothers and sisters in Christ, “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”  No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. Romans 8:35-37
