1 Peter 4

1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for vs in the flesh, arme your selues likewise with the same minde, which is, that he which hath suffered in the flesh, hath ceased from sinne,

Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm ye yourselves also with the same mind; for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;

2 That he hence forward should liue (as much time as remaineth in the flesh) not after the lusts of men, but after the will of God.

that ye no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

3 For it is sufficient for vs that we haue spet the time past of ye life, after the lust of the Gentiles, walking in wantonnes, lustes, drunkennes, in gluttonie, drinkings, and in abominable idolatries.

For the time past may suffice to have wrought the desire of the Gentiles, and to have walked in lasciviousness, lusts, winebibbings, revellings, carousings, and abominable idolatries:

4 Wherein it seemeth to them strange, that yee runne not with them vnto the same excesse of riot: therefore speake they euill of you,

wherein they think it strange that ye run not with [them] into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of [you]:

5 Which shall giue accounts to him, that is readie to iudge quicke and dead.

who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the living and the dead.

6 For vnto this purpose was the Gospell preached also vnto the dead, that they might bee condemned, according to men in the flesh, but might liue according to God in the spirit.

For unto this end was the gospel preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

7 Now the ende of all things is at hand. Be ye therefore sober, and watching in prayer.

But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore of sound mind, and be sober unto prayer:

8 But aboue all thinges haue feruent loue among you: for loue shall couer the multitude of sinnes.

above all things being fervent in your love among yourselves; for love covereth a multitude of sins:

9 Be ye harberous one to another, without grudging.

using hospitality one to another without murmuring:

10 Let euery man as hee hath receiued the gift, minister the same one to another, as good disposers of the manifolde grace of God.

according as each hath received a gift, ministering it among yourselves, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God;

11 If any man speake, let him speake as the wordes of God. If any man minister, let him do it as of the abilitie which God ministreth, that God in al things may be glorified through Iesus Christ, to whome is prayse and dominion for euer, and euer, Amen. (aiōn g165)

if any man speaketh, [speaking] as it were oracles of God; if any man ministereth, [ministering] as of the strength which God supplieth: that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, whose is the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

12 Dearely beloued, thinke it not strange concerning the firie triall, which is among you to proue you, as though some strange thing were come vnto you:

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial among you, which cometh upon you to prove you, as though a strange thing happened unto you:

13 But reioyce, in asmuch as ye are partakers of Christs suffrings, that when his glory shall appeare, ye may be glad and reioyce.

but insomuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory also ye may rejoice with exceeding joy.

14 If yee be railed vpon for the Name of Christ, blessed are ye: for the spirit of glory, and of God resteth vpon you: which on their part is euill spoken of: but on your part is glorified.

If ye are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed [are ye]; because the [Spirit] of glory and the Spirit of God resteth upon you.

15 But let none of you suffer as a murtherer, or as a thiefe, or an euil doer, or as a busibodie in other mens matters.

For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a meddler in other men’s matters:

16 But if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not bee ashamed: but let him glorifie God in this behalfe.

but if [a man suffer] as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this name.

17 For the time is come, that iudgement must beginne at the house of God. If it first beginne at vs, what shall the ende be of them which obey not the Gospel of God?

For the time [is come] for judgment to begin at the house of God: and if [it begin] first at us, what [shall be] the end of them that obey not the gospel of God?

18 And if the righteous scarcely bee saued, where shall the vngodly and the sinner appeare?

And if the righteous is scarcely saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear?

19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God, commit their soules to him in well doing, as vnto a faithfull Creator.

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