But you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance, persecutions, afflictions, which happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra—what persecutions I endured. And out of
them all the Lord delivered me.
Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution .
. . But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned
them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture
is given by inspiration of God, and
is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:10-17 (my own italics added for emphasis)
I thought of this verse with David leaving to the Marines. It is not only a good verse for him, but a good reminder for us all!
