1 Peter 4:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵ But they will have to answer to God, who judges the living and the dead. ⁶ The good news has even been preached to the dead,^[a] so that after they have been judged for what they have done in this life, their spirits will live with God.

⁷ Everything will soon come to an end. So be serious and be sensible enough to pray.
