1 Peter 4

1 Christ, then, having suffered for us in the flesh, you also arm yourselves with the same mind, because he who suffered in the flesh has finished [with] sin,

Forasmuch then as Meshikha suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;

2 no longer in the desires of men, but in the will of God, to live the rest of the time in the flesh;

that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for human desires, but for the will of God.

3 for the time has sufficiently passed to have carried out the will of the nations, having walked in licentiousness, lusts, excesses of wines, revelings, drinking-bouts, and unlawful idolatries,

For enough time in the past has been spent doing the will of the unbelievers, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.

4 in which they think it strange—your not running with them to the same excess of wastefulness, slandering [you]—

They think it is strange that you do not run with them into the same flood of debauchery, blaspheming:

5 who will give an account to Him who is ready to judge [the] living and [the] dead,

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

6 for this also was good news proclaimed to dead men, that they may be judged, indeed, according to men in the flesh, but may live according to God in the Spirit.

For this reason also the Good News was preached to those who are now dead, that they might be judged according to man in the flesh, but might live according to God in the Rukha.

7 Now the end of all things has come near; be sober-minded, then, and be sober in [your] prayers.

But the end of all things is near. Therefore be serious and disciplined in your prayers.

8 Before all things, having earnest love among yourselves, because love covers a multitude of sins;

Above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.

9 [be] hospitable to one another, without murmuring;

Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.

10 each [one], according as he received a gift, ministering it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God;

As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.

11 if anyone speaks, [speak] as oracles of God; if anyone ministers, [minister] as of the strength which God supplies, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the power through the ages of the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)

If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Yeshua Meshikha, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

12 Beloved, do not think it strange at the fiery suffering among you that is coming to try you, as if a strange thing were happening to you,

Beloved, do not be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you, to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.

13 but according as you have fellowship with the sufferings of the Christ, rejoice, that you may also rejoice in the revelation of His glory—exulting;

But because you are partakers of Meshikha's sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.

14 if you are reproached in the Name of Christ—[you are] blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you; in regard, indeed, to them, is evil spoken of Him, and in regard to you, He is glorified;

If you are insulted for the name of Meshikha, you are blessed; because the Rukha of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.

15 for let none of you suffer as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or as a meddler into other men’s matters;

For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler.

16 and if as a Christian, do not let him be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this respect;

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

17 because it is the time of the judgment to have begun from the house of God, and if first from us, what [is] the end of those disobedient to the good news of God?

For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins first with us, what will happen to those who do not obey the Good News of God?

18 And if the righteous man is scarcely saved, where will the ungodly and sinner appear?

And "If the righteous is delivered with difficulty, where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?"

19 So that those also suffering according to the will of God, as to a steadfast Creator, let them commit their own souls in doing good.

Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.
