1 Peter 4:1-9

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.
