1 Peter 4:1-16

1ChristG5547, then, having sufferedG3958 for us in [the] fleshG4561, do ye alsoG2532 arm yourselves with the sameG846 mind; for he that has sufferedG3958 in [the] fleshG4561 has done with sinG266,

2noG3371 longerG3371 to live the rest of [his] timeG5550 in [the] fleshG4561 to men's lustsG1939, but to 1God's will.

3For the timeG5550 past [is] sufficientG713 [for us] to have wrought the will of the GentilesG1484, walkingG4198 in lasciviousness, lustsG1939, wine-drinking, revels, drinkings, and unhallowed idolatriesG1495.

4Wherein they think it strangeG3579 that ye run not with [them] to the sameG846 sink of corruption, speaking injuriously [of you];

5who shall renderG591 accountG3056 to him who is readyG2093 to judgeG2919 [the] livingG2198 and [the] deadG3498.

6For to this [end] were the glad tidings preached to [the] deadG3498 alsoG2532, that they might be judgedG2919, as regards menG444, after [the] fleshG4561, but liveG2198, as regards 2GodG2316, after [the] SpiritG4151.

7But the endG5056 of all thingsG3956 is drawn nigh: be soberG3525 thereforeG3767, and be watchful unto prayersG4335;

8but before all thingsG3956 having fervent loveG26 among yourselves, because loveG26 coversG2572 a multitudeG4128 of sinsG266;

9hospitableG5382 oneG240 to another, without murmuring;

10each according as he has receivedG2983 a giftG5486, ministeringG1247 it to oneG1538 another, as goodG2570 stewardsG3623 of [the] variousG4164 graceG5485 of 3GodG2316.

11If any oneG5100 speakG2980 — as oracles of 4GodG2316; if any oneG5100 ministerG1247 — as of strengthG2479 which 5GodG2316 supplies; that 6GodG2316 in all thingsG3956 may beG1510 glorifiedG1392 through JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to whom isG1510 the gloryG1391 and the might for the agesG165 of agesG165. AmenG281.

12BelovedG27, take not [as] strangeG3581 the fire [of persecution] which has taken placeG1096 amongst you for [your] trialG3986, as if a strangeG3581 thing was happeningG1096 to you;

13but as ye have shareG2841 in the sufferings of ChristG5547, rejoiceG5463, that in the revelationG602 of his gloryG1391 alsoG2532 ye may rejoiceG5463 with exultation.

14If ye are reproached in [the] nameG3686 of ChristG5547, blessed [are ye]; for the [SpiritG4151] of gloryG1391 and the SpiritG4151 of 7GodG2316 restsG373 upon you: [on their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.]

15Let none of you sufferG3958 indeedG1063 as murdererG5406, or thiefG2812, or evildoerG2555, or as overseer of other people's matters;

16but if as a christianG5546, let him not be ashamedG153, but glorifyG1392 8GodG2316 in this nameG3686.
