1 Peter 4:17-19
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
17 For it is time for the judgment to begin with the household of God; if it begins with us, how will it end for those who fail to obey the gospel of God?(A)
18 “And if the righteous one is barely saved,
where will the godless and the sinner appear?”(B)
19 As a result, those who suffer in accord with God’s will hand their souls over to a faithful creator as they do good.

1 Peter 4:17-19
New International Version
17 For it is time for judgment to begin with God’s household;(A) and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?(B) 18 And,
“If it is hard for the righteous to be saved,
what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”[a](C)
19 So then, those who suffer according to God’s will(D) should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
