^14 (A)If you are insulted ^(B)for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory^[a] and of God rests upon you. ¹⁵ But ^(C)let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or ^(D)as a meddler. ¹⁶ Yet ^(E)if anyone suffers as a ^(F)Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God ^(G)in that name. ¹⁷ For it is time for judgment ^(H)to begin at the household of God; and ^(I)if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who ^(J)do not obey the gospel of God?

¹⁹ Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will ^(A)entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.
