1 Peter 4

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

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;

2 that ye may no longer live the remaining time in the flesh after the lusts of men, but after the will of God.

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 sufficient is the time past to have wrought the will of the gentiles, when ye walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revelings, carousings, and abominable 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 at which they are astonished that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you;

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

5 who shall give account to him that 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 to this end was the gospel preached also to the dead, that they might indeed be judged according to men in the flesh, but might 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 Spirit.

7 But the end of all things is at hand; be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

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

8 And above all things have fervent love among yourselves; for love covereth 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 grudging.

Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.

10 According as each one hath received a gift, minister the same 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 any one speak, let him speak as uttering the oracles of God; if any minister, let him do it as from the ability which God giveth; that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. 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 Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

12 Beloved, be not surprised at the fiery trial which is taking place among you to prove you, as though a strange thing were befalling 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, in so far as ye share in Christ's sufferings, rejoice; that also at the manifestation of his glory ye may rejoice with exceeding joy.

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 ye are reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye for the Spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you.

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 as a busybody in other men's matters;

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

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

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

17 For the time is come for judgment to begin at the house of God; but if it first begin with us, what will be the end of those who obey not the gospel 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 scarcely is saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?”

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

19 Wherefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well-doing, as to a faithful Creator.

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.
