Context of 2 Timothy 3:11
9But they will not make further progress, for their foolishness will be clear to all, as was the foolishness of Jannes and Jambres. 10But you have followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, and endurance, along with the persecutions and sufferings that came to me in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. What persecutions I endured — and yet the Lord rescued me from them all. 12In fact, all who want to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. 13Evil people and impostors will become worse, deceiving and being deceived.

Commentaries on 2 Timothy 3:11
