New American Standard Bible 1995

Keep Fervent in Your Love

1ThereforeG3767, since 1ChristG5547 has 2sufferedG3958 in the fleshG4561, 3armG3695 yourselves alsoG2532 with the sameG846 purposeG1771, becauseG3754 4he who has 5sufferedG3958 in the fleshG4561 has ceasedG3973 from sinG266, 26soG1519 as to liveG980 7the restG1954 of the timeG5550 in the fleshG4561 noG3371 longerG3371 for the lustsG1939 of menG444, but for the 8willG2307 of GodG2316. 3For 9the timeG5550 already pastG3928 is sufficientG713 for you to have carriedG2716 out the desireG1013 of the GentilesG1484, 1011having pursuedG4198 a courseG4198 of sensualityG766, lustsG1939, drunkennessG3632, carousingG2970, drinkingG4224 partiesG4224 and 12abominableG111 idolatriesG1495. 4In all thisG3739, they are surprisedG3579 that you do not runG4936 with them into the sameG846 excessesG401 of 13dissipationG810, and they 14malignG987 you; 5but they will giveG591 accountG3056 to Him who is readyG2093 to judgeG2919 15the livingG2198 and the deadG3498. 6For 16the gospelG2097 has for thisG3778 purpose been 17preachedG2097 evenG2532 to those who are deadG3498, that thoughG3303 they are judgedG2919 in the fleshG4561 as menG444, they may liveG2198 in the spiritG4151 accordingG2596 to the will of GodG2316.

718The endG5056 of allG3956 thingsG3956 19is nearG1448; thereforeG3767, 20be of soundG4993 judgmentG4993 and soberG3525 spirit for the purpose of 21prayerG4335. 8AboveG4253 allG3956, 22keepG2192 ferventG1618 in your loveG26 for oneG1438 anotherG1438, becauseG3754 23loveG26 coversG2572 a multitudeG4128 of sinsG266. 924Be hospitableG5382 to oneG240 anotherG240 withoutG427 25complaintG1112. 1026As eachG1538 oneG1538 has receivedG2983 a special giftG5486, employG1247 it in servingG1247 oneG1438 anotherG1438 as goodG2570 27stewardsG3623 of the manifoldG4164 graceG5485 of GodG2316. 1128WhoeverG1487G5100 speaksG2980, is to do so 29as oneG5613 who is speakingG2980 the 30utterancesG3051 of GodG2316; whoeverG1487G5100 servesG1247 is to do so as oneG5613 who is servingG1247 3132by the strengthG2479 whichG3739 GodG2316 suppliesG5524; soG2443 that 33in allG3956 thingsG3956 GodG2316 may be glorifiedG1392 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, 34to whomG3739 belongsG1510 the gloryG1391 and dominionG2904 foreverG165 and everG165. AmenG281.

Share the Sufferings of Christ

1235BelovedG27, do not be surprisedG3579 at the 36fieryG4451 ordealG4451 amongG1722 you, which comesG1096 upon you for your testingG3986, as thoughG5613 some strangeG3581 thingG3581 were happeningG4819 to you; 13but to the degreeG2526 that you 37shareG2841 the sufferingsG3804 of ChristG5547, keep on rejoicingG5463, soG2443 that alsoG2532 at the 38revelationG602 of His gloryG1391 39you may rejoiceG5463 with exultationG21. 14IfG1487 you are reviledG3679 4041for the nameG3686 of ChristG5547, 42you are blessedG3107, 43becauseG3754 the SpiritG4151 of gloryG1391 and of GodG2316 restsG373 on you. 15MakeG3361 sure that 44noneG5100G3361 of you suffersG3958 as a murdererG5406, orG2228 thiefG2812, orG2228 evildoerG2555, orG2228 a 4546troublesomeG244 meddlerG244; 16but ifG1487 anyone suffers as a 47ChristianG5546, he is not to be ashamedG153, but is to 48glorifyG1392 GodG2316 in thisG3778 nameG3686. 17For it is timeG2540 for judgmentG2917 49to beginG757 50with 51the householdG3624 of GodG2316; and ifG1487 it 52begins with us firstG4413, whatG5101 will be the outcomeG5056 for thoseG3588 53who doG544 not obeyG544 the 54gospelG2098 of GodG2316? 1855And ifG1487 it is with difficultyG3433 that the righteousG1342 is savedG4982, 56whatG4226 will becomeG5316 of the 57godlessG765 manG765 and the sinnerG268? 19ThereforeG5620, thoseG3588 alsoG2532 who sufferG3958 accordingG2596 to 58the willG2307 of GodG2316 shall entrustG3908 their soulsG5590 to a faithfulG4103 CreatorG2939 in doingG16 whatG16 is rightG16.
