< 1 Peter 4 >

1 Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;
ⲁ̅ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ϭⲉ ⲁϥϣⲡ ϩⲓⲥⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲥⲁⲡⲝ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ϩⲱ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ϩⲱⲕ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲓⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲛ ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲁϥⲗⲟ ϩⲙ ⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ
2 that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for human desires, but for the will of God.
ⲃ̅ⲉⲧⲙⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ϭⲉ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲛⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲣⲡⲕⲉⲥⲉⲉⲡⲉ ⲛⲛⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲱⲛϩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
3 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.
ⲅ̅ϩⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲧⲁϥⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲛⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲛ ⲛϫⲱϩⲙ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲛϯϩⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲛϫⲏⲣ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲥⲱⲱϥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲙϣⲉ ⲉⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ ⲉⲧϫⲁϩⲙ
4 They think it is strange that you do not run with them into the same flood of debauchery, blaspheming:
ⲇ̅ϩⲙ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲣϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲡⲏⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲙⲙⲛⲧϣⲛⲁ ⲛⲥⲉϫⲓ ⲟⲩⲁ
5 who will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

6 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 Spirit.
ⲋ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲩⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲍⲉ ⲛⲛⲕⲉⲣⲉϥⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲛⲥⲉⲱⲛϩ ⲇⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ
7 But the end of all things is near. Therefore be serious and disciplined in your prayers.

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

9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.

10 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, 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 Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

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

14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed; because the Spirit 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 a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲙⲡⲣⲧⲣⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ϣⲡ ϩⲓⲥⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲫⲟⲛⲉⲩⲥ ⲏ ⲣⲉϥϩⲱϥⲧ ⲏ ⲛⲣⲉϥⲣⲡⲉⲑⲟⲟⲩ ⲏ ⲙⲁⲓⲡⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲡⲱϥ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ
16 But if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this name.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⲭⲣⲓⲥⲧⲓⲁⲛⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲣⲧⲣⲉϥϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϯ ⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲙ ⲡⲉⲓⲣⲁⲛ
17 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?
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲉⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲡϩⲁⲡ ⲁⲣⲭⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲏⲓ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉϣϫⲉ ϥⲛⲁⲣ ϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲓ ⲟⲩ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲑⲁⲏ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟ ⲛⲁⲧⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲉⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲓⲟⲛ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
18 And "If the righteous is delivered with difficulty, where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?"
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϣϫⲉ ⲙⲟⲅⲓⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲉⲓ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲣⲉϥⲣⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲱⲛ
19 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.
