Bible verse
For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who disobey the gospel of God?
1 Peter 4:17 · BSB
The verses around it, from 1 Peter 4.
13 But rejoice that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed at the revelation of His glory.
14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.
15 Indeed, none of you should suffer as a murderer or thief or wrongdoer, or even as a meddler.
16 But if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but glorify God that you bear that name.
17 For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who disobey the gospel of God?
18 And, “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”
19 So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should entrust their souls to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
