1 Peter 4

1Forasmuch then as ChristG5547 sufferedG3958 in the fleshG4561, arm ye yourselves alsoG2532 with the sameG846 mind; for he that hath sufferedG3958 in the fleshG4561 hath ceasedG3973 from sinG266; 2that ye noG3371 longerG3371 should live the rest of your timeG5550 in the fleshG4561 to the lustsG1939 of menG444, but to the will of GodG2316. 3For the timeG5550 past may suffice to have wrought the desireG1939 of the GentilesG1484, and to have walked in lasciviousness, lustsG1939, winebibbings, revellings, carousings, and abominable idolatriesG1495: 4wherein they think it strangeG3579 that ye run not with them into the sameG846 excess of riot, speaking evil of you: 5who shall giveG591 accountG3056 to him that is readyG2093 to judgeG2919 the livingG2198 and the deadG3498. 6For unto this end was the gospel preached evenG2532 to the deadG3498, that they might be judgedG2919 indeed accordingG2596 to menG444 in the fleshG4561, but liveG2198 accordingG2596 to GodG2316 in the spiritG4151.

7But the endG5056 of all thingsG3956 is at hand: be ye thereforeG3767 of soundG4993 mind, and be soberG3525 unto prayerG4335: 8above all thingsG3956 being fervent in your loveG26 among yourselves; for loveG26 covereth a multitudeG4128 of sinsG266: 9using hospitality oneG240 to another without murmuring: 10according as each hath receivedG2983 a giftG5486, ministeringG1247 it among yourselves, as goodG2570 stewardsG3623 of the manifold graceG5485 of GodG2316; 11if any man speaketh, speakingG2980 as it wereG1510 oracles of GodG2316; if any man ministereth, ministeringG1247 as of the strengthG2479 which GodG2316 supplieth: that in all thingsG3956 GodG2316 may beG1510 glorifiedG1392 through JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whose isG1510 the gloryG1391 and the dominionG2904 for ever and ever. AmenG281.

12BelovedG27, think it not strangeG3581 concerning the fiery trialG3986 among you, which cometh upon you to prove you, as though a strangeG3581 thing happenedG1096 unto you: 13but insomuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoiceG5463; that at the revelationG602 of his gloryG1391 alsoG2532 ye may rejoiceG5463 with exceeding joy. 14If ye are reproached for the nameG3686 of ChristG5547, blessed are ye; because the SpiritG4151 of gloryG1391 and the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 resteth upon you. 15For let none of you sufferG3958 as a murdererG5406, or a thiefG2812, or an evil-doer, or as a meddler in other men’s matters: 16but if a manG3778 suffer as a ChristianG5546, let him not be ashamedG153; but let him glorifyG1392 GodG2316 in this nameG3686. 17For the timeG2540 is come for judgmentG2917 to beginG757 at the houseG3624 of GodG2316: and if it beginG757 firstG4413 at us, what shall be the endG5056 of them that obey not the gospelG2098 of GodG2316? 18And if the righteousG1342 is scarcely savedG4982, whereG4226 shall the ungodlyG765 and sinnerG268 appearG5316? 19Wherefore let them alsoG2532 that sufferG3958 accordingG2596 to the will of GodG2316 commitG3908 their soulsG5590 in well-doing unto a faithfulG4103 Creator.
