Bible Verses About Afflicted Saints: Paul

And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:

save that the Holy Spirit testifieth unto me in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.

But I hold not my life of any account as dear unto myself, so that I may accomplish my course, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

Then Paul answered, What do ye, weeping and breaking my heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
