1 Peter 4:18

Sharing The Sufferings Of Christ

¹⁷ It is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it first begin with us, what shall be the end of those who are disobedient to the gospel? ¹⁸ If the righteous man is scarcely saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? ¹⁹ So let those who are suffering according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well-doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
