Now in these verses the Apostle doth these two things.
1. He here sets down the greatness and the smartness of their sufferings, which are by some learned men reduced to three heads.

Those sufferings they underwent in dying, and the cruelty of those deaths that were laid upon them. 3. Their sufferings in reference to their wandering and leaving of their worldly comforts rather then they would loose God. But we need not be so curious in the distribution of their sufferings it may suffice us that they were steadfast in the midst of all, and would never be brought to forsake God and his truths for any of them.
