ISB ~ 1 Peter 4 v17

the household of God:Or, “the house of God”, possibly alluding to the Church as a spiritual temple (2:6).

• Even now judgment begins with the Lord’s house, that is, with the Church, which is prepared for the joys to come by enduring the afflictions of the present. The condemned, for their part, are living securely in this transitory life, in contrast to the future punishment that awaits them (St. Bede, On the Seven Catholic Epistles at 1 Pet 4:17).
