John 16:2

SufferingFaith

1 “I have told you these things so that you will not fall away.

They will put you out of the synagogues. In fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God.

3 They will do these things because they have not known the Father or Me.

4 But I have told you these things so that when their hour comes, you will remember that I told you about them. I did not tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.
