1 Peter 4:14-19

Anderson(i) 14 If you are reproached on account of Christ, happy are you: for the glorious Spirit of God rests upon you. On their part he is reviled, but on your part he is glorified: 15 for no one of you should suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. 16 But if any one suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God on this account. 17 For the time has come that judgment must begin at the house of God; and if it begin first at us, what shall be the end of those who obey not the gospel of God? 18 And if the righteous man is hardly saved, where shall the ungodly man and the sinner appear? 19 Wherefore, let those also who suffer according to the will of God, by doing good, commit their souls to him as to a faithful Creator.
