1 Peter 4:1-11

1Therefore, sinceG3767 ChristG5547 sufferedG39581 in His bodyG4561, arm yourselves withG3695 theG3588 sameG846 resolveG1771, becauseG3754 anyone whoG3588 has sufferedG3958 in his bodyG4561 is done withG3973 sinG266. 2ConsequentlyG1519, he does not live outG3371G980 his remainingG1954 timeG5550 on earthG1722G4561 for humanG444 passionsG1939, butG235 for the willG2307 of GodG2316. 3ForG1063 you have spent enoughG713 timeG5550 in the pastG3928 carrying outG2716 the sameG3588 desiresG1013 as theG3588 GentilesG1484: livingG4198 inG1722 debaucheryG766, lustG1939, drunkennessG3632, orgiesG2970, carousingG4224, andG2532 detestableG111 idolatryG1495.

4Because ofG1722 thisG3739, they consider it strangeG3579 of youG4771 notG3361 to plunge withG4936 them intoG1519 theG3588 sameG846 floodG401 of reckless indiscretionG810, and they heap abuse on youG987. 5But they will have to giveG591 an accountG3056 to Him whoG3588 isG2192 readyG2093 to judgeG2919 the livingG2198 andG2532 the deadG3498. 6That is whyG1063G1519G3778 the gospel was preachedG2097 evenG2532 to those who are now deadG3498,2 so thatG2443 they might be judgedG2919 asG2596 menG444 in the fleshG4561, butG1161 liveG2198 according toG2596 GodG2316 in the spiritG4151.

TheG3588 endG5056 of allG3956 things is nearG1448. ThereforeG3767 be clear-mindedG4993 andG2532 soberG3525, so thatG1519 you can prayG4335. 8AboveG4253 allG3956, loveG26 one anotherG1519G1438 deeplyG2192G1618, becauseG3754 loveG26 covers overG2572 a multitudeG4128 of sinsG266.3 9Show hospitalityG5382 toG1519 one anotherG240 withoutG427 complainingG1112.

10AsG5613 goodG2570 stewardsG3623 of the manifoldG4164 graceG5485 of GodG2316, eachG1538 of you should use whateverG846 giftG5486 he has receivedG2983 to serveG1247 one anotherG1438. 11IfG1487 anyoneG5100 speaksG2980, he should speak asG5613 one conveying the words of GodG2316G3051. IfG1487 anyoneG5100 servesG1247, he should serve withG1537 the strengthG2479 GodG2316 providesG5524, so thatG2443 inG1722 all thingsG3956 GodG2316 may be glorifiedG1392 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to whomG3739 beG1510 theG3588 gloryG1391 andG2532 theG3588 powerG2904 foreverG1519G3588G165 and everG165. AmenG281.
