15. For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a meddler in other men's matters:
16. but if a man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this name.
17. For the time is come for judgment to begin at the house of God: and if it begin first at us, what shall be the end of them that obey not the gospel of God?
18. And if the righteous is scarcely saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear?
19. Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing unto a faithful Creator.
