1 PETER 4:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?”
And, 'If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?' — the citation from Proverbs 11:31 emphasizes the perilous condition of the righteous (dikaios), making their salvation itself difficult (mogis). The implication is that if the righteous barely survive judgment, the ungodly (asebēs) and sinner (amartolos) face utter destruction.
