1 Peter 4:15-17
Tree of Life Version
15 For let none of you suffer as a murderer or thief or evildoer or as a troublemaker. 16 But if anyone suffers for following Messiah,[a] let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this name. 17 For the time has come for judgment to begin with the house of God.[b] If judgment begins with us first, what will be the end for those who disobey the Good News of God?

New International Version
15 If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. 16 However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.(A) 17 For it is time for judgment to begin with God’s household;(B) and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?(C)
