For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God. If it begins first with us, what will happen to those who don't obey the Gospel of God?
and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God: This is a manner of speaking often seen in the scriptures. "To the Jews first, and then to the Gentiles"; or "if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee" (Romans 11:21). "Us" and "the house of God" show who is to receive the judgment of God mentioned.
