1 Peter 4:15-17

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁵ If you suffer, you shouldn’t suffer for being a murderer, thief, criminal, or troublemaker. ¹⁶ If you suffer for being a Christian, don’t feel ashamed, but praise God for being called that name. ¹⁷ The time has come for the judgment to begin, and it will begin with God’s family. If it starts with us, what will be the end for those who refuse to obey the Good News of God?
