1 Peter 4

1 Since, then, Christ has suffered for us in the flesh, do you also arm yourselves with the same determination; for he that has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

Christ, then, having suffered for us in [the] flesh, do ye also arm yourselves with the same mind; for he that has suffered in [the] flesh has done with sin,

2 so that he no longer lives the rest of his time in the flesh, according to the desires of men, but according to the will of God.

no longer to live the rest of [his] time in [the] flesh to men's lusts, but to God's will.

3 For the time past of our life should be enough for us to have worked the will of the Gentiles, while we walked in licentiousness, lusts, drunkenness, revelings, drinkings, and unlawful idolatries.

For the time past [is] sufficient [for us] to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, walking in lasciviousness, lusts, wine-drinking, revels, drinkings, and unhallowed idolatries.

4 They are amazed at this―that you run not with them into the same excess of debauchery, and they revile you.

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

5 These shall give an account to him that is ready to judge the living and the dead.

who shall render account to him who is ready to judge [the] living and [the] dead.

6 For this cause, indeed, even those who have died had the gospel preached to them, that though they might be judged according to the will of men in the flesh, yet they might live according to the will of God in the spirit.

For to this [end] were the glad tidings preached to [the] dead also, that they might be judged, as regards men, after [the] flesh, but live, as regards God, after [the] Spirit.

7 But the end of all things is at hand; be sober-minded, therefore, and watchful, that you may pray.

But the end of all things is drawn nigh: be sober therefore, and be watchful unto prayers;

8 But, above all things, have fervent love one for another; for love will cover a multitude of sins.

but before all things having fervent love among yourselves, because love covers a multitude of sins;

9 Be hospitable, one to another, without murmuring.

hospitable one to another, without murmuring;

10 As each has received a gift, minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

each according as he has received a gift, ministering it to one another, as good stewards of [the] various grace of God.

11 If any man speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God: if any man acts as a deacon, let him do this as from the strength which God supplies; that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory and strength from age to age. Amen. (aiōn g165)

If any one speak — as oracles of God; if any one minister — as of strength which God supplies; that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the might for the ages of ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)

12 Beloved, be not amazed at the fiery trial that has come on you to try you, as if some strange thing had happened to you.

Beloved, take not [as] strange the fire [of persecution] which has taken place amongst you for [your] trial, as if a strange thing was happening to you;

13 But, inasmuch as you are partakers of the sufferings of the Christ, rejoice, that, at the revelation of his glory, you may also be exceedingly joyful.

but as ye have share in the sufferings of Christ, rejoice, that in the revelation of his glory also ye may rejoice with exultation.

14 If you are reproached on account of Christ, happy are you: for the glorious Spirit of God rests upon you. On their part he is reviled, but on your part he is glorified:

If ye are reproached in [the] name of Christ, blessed [are ye]; for the [Spirit] of glory and the Spirit of God rests upon you: [on their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.]

15 for no one of you should suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters.

Let none of you suffer indeed as murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or as overseer of other people's matters;

16 But if any one suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God on this account.

but if as a christian, let him not be ashamed, but glorify God in this name.

17 For the time has come that judgment must begin at the house of God; and if it begin first at us, what shall be the end of those who obey not the gospel of God?

For the time of having the judgment begin from the house of God [is come]; but if first from us, what [shall be] the end of those who obey not the glad tidings of God?

18 And if the righteous man is hardly saved, where shall the ungodly man and the sinner appear?

And if the righteous is difficultly saved, where shall the impious and [the] sinner appear?

19 Wherefore, let those also who suffer according to the will of God, by doing good, commit their souls to him as to a faithful Creator.

Wherefore also let them who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing to a faithful Creator.
