1 Peter 4:18

Sharing The Sufferings Of Christ

¹⁷ For the time has come for the judgment to begin with the household of God, and if it begins with us, what will be the end of those who refuse God's good news? ¹⁸ If it is hard for the upright man to be saved, what will become of the godless and sinful? ¹⁹ Therefore, those who suffer by the will of God must intrust their souls to a Creator who is faithful, and continue to do what is right.
