1 Peter 4

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

Therefore Christ having suffered in the flesh, you also arm yourselves with the same mind: because the one having suffered in carnality has ceased from sin;

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

that he may no longer live the remaining time in carnality according to the lusts of men, but in the will of God.

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.

For the past time is sufficient to have wrought the will of the heathens, walking in impurities, in lusts, in wine-drinkings, in revelries, in intemperance, and in unlawful idolatries:

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

in which they are astonished you not running to the same excess of wrath, blaspheming;

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

who shall give an 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 Ruach.

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

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

But the end of all things is at hand. Therefore be prudent, and sober unto prayers:

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

before all things having divine love stedfast toward one another; because divine love covers a multitude of sins:

9 Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.

being hospitable to one another without grudging;

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.

as each one received the gift of grace, ministering the same to one another, as the good stewards of the manifold grace of God:

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 Yeshua the Messiah, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

if any one speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any one ministers, as from the strength which God supplies; in order that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ; to whom there is glory and power unto the ages of the ages. 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.

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial among you, coming upon you unto your testing: as some strange thing happening to you:

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

but as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, rejoice; in order that you may also rejoice in the revelation of his glory, being glad.

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

If you suffer reproach in the name of Christ, happy are you, because the spirit of the glory and the spirit of God rest on you.

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

But let no one of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a meddler in other people's business:

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

but if as a Christian, be not ashamed, but glorify God in this name.

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?

Because it is time that judgment should begin from the house of God: and if it is first from us, what shall be the end of those who obey not the gospel of God?

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

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

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.

So let those indeed suffering according to the will of God submit their souls to the faithful Creator, in good work.
