On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Note, The cross is the Christian's mark: if we are called to suffer we are called only to be followers of the churches of God; so persecuted they the prophets that were before you, Matt. v. 12 . It is a good effect of the gospel when we are enabled to suffer for its sake. The apostle mentions the sufferings of the churches of God, which in Judea were in Christ Jesus.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
