SCRIPTURE

"And if the righteous is scarcely saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear?" — 1 Peter 4:18 (ASV)

And if the righteous is scarcely saved (κα ε ο δικαιος μολις σωζετα). First-class condition again with ε and present passive indicative of σωζω. Quotation from Pr 11:31. See 3:12,14; Matthew 5:20. But the Christian is not saved by his own righteousness (Revelation 7:14). For μολις see Ac 14:18 and for ασεβης (ungodly, without reverence) see Ro 4:5; 2 Peter 2:5.

Will appear (φανειτα). Future middle of φαινω, to show. For the question see Mr 10:24-26.
