1 Peter 4:17-19
J.B. Phillips New Testament
17-18 The time has evidently arrived for God’s judgment to begin, and it is beginning at his own House. And if it starts with us, what is it going to mean to those who refuse to obey the Gospel of God? ‘If the righteous one is scarcely saved, where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?’.
19 And if it is true that we are living in a time of judgment, then those who suffer according to God’s will can only commit their souls to their faithful creator, and go on doing all the good they can.

1 Peter 4:17-19
New International Version
17 For it is time for judgment to begin with God’s household;(A) and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?(B) 18 And,
“If it is hard for the righteous to be saved,
what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”[a](C)
19 So then, those who suffer according to God’s will(D) should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
