1 Peter 4:17‑18• 17For the time of having the judgment begin from the house of God is come; but if first from us, what shall be the end of those who obey not the glad tidings of God?
 18And if the righteous is difficultly saved, where shall the impious and the sinner appear? (1 Peter 4:17‑18)
• This is the passage quoted by the apostle Peter (though from the Septuagint version) in the 4th chapter of his first epistle, where he says, “The time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?” (verses 17, 18). By comparing this 18th verse, in its transposed form, with the proverb itself, much light is shed on the quotation as used by Peter. The righteous being scarcely, or with difficulty, saved, refers to their salvation on earth, not their entrance into heaven. Here, in this scene, righteous and wicked are subjects of God’s government. (“Proverbs Eleven” by H.A. Ironside)
