So do not be surprised The phrase "do not be surprised" comes from the Greek word "thaumazō," which means to marvel or wonder. In the context of 1 John, this is a call to the early Christian community to remain steadfast and not be taken aback by the hostility they face. Historically, Christians in the first century were often persecuted for their faith, facing both social ostracism and physical danger. This exhortation serves as a reminder that such opposition is to be expected as part of the Christian journey.
