something out of the will of God. And,
again, in all five chapters you'll find the

verses 2 through 4 and verse 12, you find
the suffering of the saints. Now, 2 Timothy
3:12 says, “Yea, and all that will live godly in
Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” And
even the apostle Paul said in the latter part
of Acts 14:22, “we must through much
tribulation enter into the kingdom of
God.” See, I'm not just picking out verses.
You can't read in any book in the New
Testament without reading about the
suffering of the saints.
