1 Peter 4:18-19
The Message
17-19 It’s judgment time for God’s own family. We’re first in line. If it starts with us, think what it’s going to be like for those who refuse God’s Message!
If good people barely make it,
What’s in store for the bad?
So if you find life difficult because you’re doing what God said, take it in stride. Trust him. He knows what he’s doing, and he’ll keep on doing it.

1 Peter 4:18-19
New International Version
18 And,
“If it is hard for the righteous to be saved,
what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”[a](A)
19 So then, those who suffer according to God’s will(B) should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
