1 Peter 4:16-18
New English Translation

16 But if you suffer as a Christian,[a] do not be ashamed, but glorify[b] God that you bear such a name.[c] 17 For it is time for judgment to begin, starting with the house[d] of God. And if it starts with us, what will be the fate[e] of those who are disobedient to the gospel of God? 18 And if the righteous are barely saved, what will become of[f] the ungodly and sinners?[g]
