14. If you are reviled on account of the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.
15. By all means do not let anyone of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler.
16. But if someone suffers as a Christian, he must not be ashamed, but must glorify God with this name.
17. For it is the time for the judgment to begin out from the household of God. But if it begins out from us first, what will be the outcome for those who are disobedient to the gospel of God?
18. And if the righteous are saved with difficulty, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?
