Concerning persecution in all ages to this day : and he that was born after the flesh, persecuted him that was born of the Spirit : and even so it is now, yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution : mark, all them that will live godly, not them that will live ungodly, out of Christ Jesus, 2 Tim. 3.12. : for unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake ... / G. Fox.
