1 Peter 4:17-19

Common English Bible

¹⁷ because it’s time for judgment to begin with God’s own household. But if judgment starts with us, what will happen to those who refuse to believe God’s good news? ¹⁸ If the righteous are barely rescued, what will happen to the godless and sinful? ¹⁹ So then, those who suffer because they follow God’s will should commit their lives to a trustworthy creator by doing what is right.
