1 Peter 4:16-19 CEV ...Don't be ashamed to suffer for being a Christian. Praise God that you belong to him. (17) God has already begun judging his own people. And if his judgment begins with us, imagine how terrible it will be for those who refuse to obey his message. The Scriptures say, (18) "If good people barely escape, what will happen to sinners and to others who don't respect God?" [Proverbs 11:31] (19) If you suffer for obeying God, you must have complete faith in your faithful Creator and keep on doing right.
1 Peter 4:16-19 ESV ...Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name. (17) For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? (18) And "If the righteous is scarcely saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?" [Proverbs 11:31] (19) Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.
1 Peter 4:16-19 ALT ...but if as a Christian, stop being ashamed, but be glorifying God in this matter.

(18) And "If the righteous [person] is scarcely [or, with difficulty is] saved, where will the ungodly and sinner appear [fig., what will become of the ungodly and sinner]?" [Proverbs 11:31] (19) So also the ones suffering according to the will of God, as to a trustworthy Creator, must be committing [or, entrusting] their souls in good doing.
1 Peter 4:16-19 LITV ...But if one suffers as a Christian, do not let him be ashamed, but to glorify God in this respect. (17) Because the time has come to begin the judgment from the house of God; and if firstly from us, what will be the end of the ones disobeying the gospel of God? (18) And "if the righteous is scarcely saved, where will the ungodly and sinner appear?" [Proverbs 11:31] (19) So as indeed the ones suffering according to God's will, as to a faithful Creator, let them commit their souls in well-doing.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
