Persecution?

2 Timothy 3:

10
"You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, 11 persecutions, sufferings—what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. 12 In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13 while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived."

My thoughts: here, it says that: "everyone who wants to live a godly life will be persecuted".

That phrase got my attention.

Why is it that I (and many Christ-followers) who claim that we desire to live a godly life don't get persecuted?

Is it because of the accepting culture we live in; or that we are not living or desiring a godly life to which God loves; or that the time has not come; or ...?
