10:34 a those who were thrown into jail: Prisoners were dependent on friends and family for the most basic daily needs (cp. 13:3 b).• when all you owned was taken from you: At times, the Roman government evicted groups of people from their homes and forced them to leave a city (see Acts 18:2-3 c). These Christians had faced this kind of persecution in the past and accepted it with joy (cp. Rom 5:3 d; Jas 1:2-4 e; 1 Pet 1:6 f). They anticipated better things . . . that will last forever (see Heb 11:35 g). God promises rewards to those who persevere faithfully.
