1 Petrus 4:17-18

4:17 For it is time for judgment to begin, starting with the house ¹  of God. And if it starts with us, what will be the fate ²  of those who are disobedient to the gospel of God? 4:18 And if the righteous are barely saved, what will become of ³  the ungodly and sinners? ⁴ 

[4:17]  ¹ tn Grk “to begin from the house.”

[4:17]  ² tn Or “the end.”

[4:18]  ³ tn Grk “where will he appear.”

[4:18]  ⁴ tn The personal references in v. 18 are generic singulars, but they have been changed to the plural in English to maintain consistency with the plurals of v. 17.
