15 But (A)let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or (B)as a meddler. 16 Yet (C)if anyone suffers as a (D)Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God (E)in that name. 17 For it is time for judgment (F)to begin at the household of God; and (G)if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who (H)do not obey the gospel of God? 18 And

    what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”[a]

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