1 Peter 4:18

Sharing The Sufferings Of Christ

¹⁷ For the time has come for judgment to begin with the House of God; and, if it begins with us, what will be the end of those who reject God's Good News? ¹⁸ If 'a good man is saved only with difficulty, what will become of the godless and the sinful?' ¹⁹ Therefore, I say, let those who suffer, because God wills it so, commit their lives into the hands of a faithful Creator, and persevere in doing right.
