Commentary

Commentary on 2 Timothy 3:12

Theological / Devotional

All. Not only the ministers of the church, but all who dedicate themselves to follow Christ’s way of life, must expect to be misunderstood, maligned, and subjected to suffering of every kind (see on John 15:18-20; 1 Peter 4:12-19).

Will. Gr. thelo, “to resolve,” “to determine.”

Godly. In contrast with the pretense of Christian living (v. 5).

In Christ Jesus. That is, no “godly” life exists apart from a vital connection with our Lord. He is the pattern as well as the sustainer of Christian life.

Shall suffer persecution. See on Phil. 1:29.
