²⁰ Remember the word that I said to you: ^(A)‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, ^(B)they will also persecute you. ^(C)If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.

³³ I have said these things to you, that ^(A)in me you may have peace. ^(B)In the world you will have ^(C)tribulation. But ^(D)take heart; ^(E)I have overcome the world.”

³ that no one be moved by these afflictions. For you yourselves know that ^(A)we are destined for this.

¹² Indeed, all who desire to ^(A)live a godly life in Christ Jesus ^(B)will be persecuted,

¹⁶ For ^(A)I will show him how much ^(B)he must suffer ^(C)for the sake of my name.”

³⁰ who will not receive a hundredfold ^(A)now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, ^(B)with persecutions, and in ^(C)the age to come eternal life.

²⁸ “You are those who have stayed with me ^(A)in my trials, ²⁹ and ^(B)I assign to you, as my Father assigned to me, a kingdom,

¹⁷ and if children, then ^(A)heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, ^(B)provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.

²⁰ as it is my eager expectation and hope ^(A)that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full ^(B)courage now as always Christ ^(C)will be honored in my body, ^(D)whether by life or by death.
