1 Peter 4:19

1 Peter 4:19

17 For the time has come ^afor judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, ^bwhat will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?

18 Now
^a“If the righteous one is scarcely saved,
Where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?”

19 Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God ^acommit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.
