2 For we have had the good news declared to us also,+ even as they also had;+ but the word which was heard did not benefit them,+ because they were not united by faith+ with those who did hear.*+
17 For it is the appointed time for the judgment to start with the house of God.+ Now if it starts first with us,+ what will the end be of those who are not obedient to the good news of God?+
