‏ 1 Peter 4:17

v. 17: Peter says that a time of judgment or testing has started with the house of God—God’s own people. God sometimes allows suffering among Christians to correct and purify them. But these trials for believers are short and light compared to the terrible end for those who reject the gospel. If God starts with His own family, what will happen to those who disobey Him? (Isaiah 10:12; Jeremiah 25:29; Ezekiel 9:6; Matthew 24:9-10 a)
