May we realize that “all that live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution” (2 Timothy 3:12), and that it is only through patiently enduring these “fiery darts” (Ephesians 6:10-17), and “the fiery trial” (1 Peter 4:12-14), and any persecution that our faith or gold is being “tried in the fire” (Revelation 3:18).
Atin nawang maunawaan na "lahat ng ibig mabuhay na may kabanalan kay Cristo Jesus ay mangagbabata ng pag-uusig" (2 Timoteo 3:12), at ito'y sa pamamagitan lamang na ating batahin ng may pagtitiis ang "nangagniningas na suligi" na ito (Efeso 6:10-17), at "ang mahigpit na pagsubok" (1 Pedro 4:12-14), at anumang pag-uusig at sa ganito ang ating pananampalataya o ginto ay "madadalisay sa apoy" (Apokalipsis 3:18).
