Acts 20:29-30

Paul may have been certain where future trouble would come from because of his contacts with that church, by special revelation, or because of his general experience in ministry (cf. Matthew 7:15; John 10:12). What he anticipated materialized (1 Timothy 1:6-7; 1 Timothy 1:19-20; 1 Timothy 4:1-7; 2 Timothy 1:15; 2 Timothy 2:17-18; 2 Timothy 3:1-9; Revelation 2:1-7). Most churches face opposition from people outside and inside their fellowship.
