1 Peter 4:17-19
New English Translation
17 For it is time for judgment to begin, starting with the house[a] of God. And if it starts with us, what will be the fate[b] of those who are disobedient to the gospel of God? 18 And if the righteous are barely saved, what will become of[c] the ungodly and sinners?[d] 19 So then let those who suffer according to the will of God entrust their souls to a faithful Creator as they do good.[e]
