1 Peter 4:16-18

GOD’S WORD Translation

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? ¹⁸ If it’s hard for the person who has God’s approval to be saved, what will happen to the godless sinner?
