• It is not all Christians who will be persecuted, but all who will live godly in Christ Jesus. (“2 Timothy 3” by J.N. Darby)

• Stress is to be laid upon the word " will," for it means that there is a real desire, purpose of heart even, to live in this manner; and also upon " in Christ Jesus," because it shows that it is the life in which Christ Himself is both magnified and displayed. Those then whose hearts are set, through divine grace, to follow Christ fully, like Caleb of old, to own no authority but His over the heart and conscience, to have no guide but Himself and His word, and thus to be apart from all that dishonors His name, cannot, in the difficult times of which the apostle speaks, escape persecutions. (article #86523)

• "Persecution" is a big word-and has various forms and applications. (2 Tim. 3:12.) (article #119159)
