Commentators explain that this verse describes a fundamental reality for believers: the world's system is often actively hostile towards the righteous. This opposition isn't passive; it involves being watched for any fault and facing plots against one's reputation, livelihood, or even life. Scholars like Albert Barnes see this pattern throughout history, from the prophets to Jesus and the martyrs.
