I Peter 4:14-18 NLT
14 So be happy when you are insulted
for being a Christian, for then The Glorious Spirit Of God rests upon
you.[

not be for murder, stealing, making trouble, or prying into other
people’s affairs.
16 But it is no shame to suffer for
being a Christian. Praise God for the privilege of being called by
His name!

judgment, and it must begin with God’s household. And if judgment

God’s Good News?
I John 3:15 KJV
Whosoever hateth his brother is a
murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in
him.
