Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation

In 1 Peter 4:17 (RSV), it says:

“For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?”

Peter was encouraging Christians to endure suffering faithfully, reminding them that God's judgment starts with His own people (the "household of God"). This means believers are tested and purified first. If even the righteous face trials, then the fate of the disobedient (unbelievers) will be far worse.
