1 Peter 4:15-17

Common English Bible

¹⁵ Now none of you should suffer as a murderer or thief or evildoer or rebel. ¹⁶ But don’t be ashamed if you suffer as one who belongs to Christ. Rather, honor God as you bear Christ’s name. Give honor to God, ¹⁷ because it’s time for judgment to begin with God’s own household. But if judgment starts with us, what will happen to those who refuse to believe God’s good news?
