1 Peter 4:15-19

15If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. 16However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name. 17For it is time for judgment to begin with God’s household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?

18And, “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?” Prov. 11:31 (see Septuagint) 19So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
