10. But you know all about my teaching. You know how I live and what I live for. You know about my faith and love. You know how patient I am. You know I haven't given up.
11. You know that I was treated badly. You know that I suffered greatly. You know what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra. You know how badly I have been treated. But the Lord saved me from all of my troubles.
12. In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be treated badly.
13. Evil people and pretenders will go from bad to worse. They will fool others, and others will fool them.
