For the time has come for the judging, starting with the church of God; but if it makes a start with us, what will be the end of those who are not under the rule of God?
1 Peter 4:18
And if it is hard for even the good man to get salvation, what chance has the man without religion or the sinner?
1 Peter 4:19
For this reason let those who by the purpose of God undergo punishment, keep on in well-doing and put their souls into the safe hands of their Maker.
