Philippians 1:30

28 without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a clear sign of their destruction but of your salvation, and it is from God.

29 For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for Him,

since you are encountering the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
