1 Peter 4:18

Sharing The Sufferings Of Christ

¹⁷ For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God. If it begins with us first what will it be like in the end for those who do not obey the good news of God? ¹⁸ And if it is with difficulty that the righteous is saved, what will become of the godless man and the sinner? ¹⁹ Let them also that suffer according to the will of God commend themselves in well doing to a faithful Creator.
