1 Peter 4:17-19

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁷ The time has come for the judgment to begin, and it will begin with God’s family. If it starts with us, what will be the end for those who refuse to obey the Good News of God? ¹⁸ If it’s hard for the person who has God’s approval to be saved, what will happen to the godless sinner? ¹⁹ Those who suffer because that is God’s will for them must entrust themselves to a faithful creator and continue to do what is good.
