1 Peter 4:14-19
14IfG1487 you are reviledG3679 12for the nameG3686 of ChristG5547, 3you are blessedG3107, 4becauseG3754 the SpiritG4151 of gloryG1391 and of GodG2316 restsG373 on you.
15MakeG3361 sure that 5noneG5100G3361 of you suffersG3958 as a murdererG5406, orG2228 thiefG2812, orG2228 evildoerG2555, orG2228 a 67troublesomeG244 meddlerG244;
16but ifG1487 anyone suffers as a 8ChristianG5546, he is not to be ashamedG153, but is to 9glorifyG1392 GodG2316 in thisG3778 nameG3686.
17For it is timeG2540 for judgmentG2917 10to beginG757 11with 12the householdG3624 of GodG2316; and ifG1487 it 13begins with us firstG4413, whatG5101 will be the outcomeG5056 for thoseG3588 14who doG544 not obeyG544 the 15gospelG2098 of GodG2316?
1816And ifG1487 it is with difficultyG3433 that the righteousG1342 is savedG4982, 17whatG4226 will becomeG5316 of the 18godlessG765 manG765 and the sinnerG268?
19ThereforeG5620, thoseG3588 alsoG2532 who sufferG3958 accordingG2596 to 19the willG2307 of GodG2316 shall entrustG3908 their soulsG5590 to a faithfulG4103 CreatorG2939 in doingG16 whatG16 is rightG16.
