): All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution: not always alike; at that time those who professed the faith of Christ were more exposed to persecution than at other times; but at all times, more or less, those who will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

There is no godliness (Greek, "piously") or piety out of Christ. The world easily puts up with the mask of a religion which depends on itself, but the piety which derives its vigor directly from Christ is as odious to modern Christians as it was to the ancient Jews [BENGEL]. shall suffer persecution--and will not decline it (Ga 5:11).

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

In Christ - Out of Christ there is no godliness. Shall suffer persecution - More or less. Either the truth of scripture fails, or those that think they are religious, and are not persecuted, in some shape or other, on that very account, deceive themselves.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
