1 Peter 4:18

Sharing The Sufferings Of Christ

¹⁷ For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? ¹⁸ And "if it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the godless man and the sinner?" ¹⁹ Therefore, let those who suffer according to God's will do right and entrust their souls to a faithful Creator.
