1 Peter 4:18
Compare all
16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this1 matter.  
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.

1 Peter 4:18

If the righteous scarcely be saved - Escape with the utmost difficulty. Where shall the ungodly - The man who knows not God. And the open sinner appear - In that day of vengeance. The salvation here primarily spoken of is of a temporal nature. But we may apply the words to eternal things, and then they are still more awful. Proverbs 11:31.
