1 Peter 4:17-19
Worldwide English (New Testament)
17 The time has come for God to judge people. God's people will be judged first. If we are judged first, what will happen at the end to those who do not obey the good news of God?
18 The holy writings say, `If it is hard for a good person to be saved, what will happen to a person who is against God and lives a bad life?'
19 If God allows you to suffer, trust him. He made you and you can trust him. But keep on doing good things.

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.
