1 Peter 4

1 Christ, then, having suffered in flesh, do, ye also, with the same purpose, arm yourselves, —because, he that hath suffered in flesh, hath done with sins, —

Christ, then, having suffered for us in [the] flesh, do ye also arm yourselves with the same mind; for he that has suffered in [the] flesh has done with sin,

2 To the end that, no longer, in men’s covetings, but in God’s will, ye may live, the still remaining time.

no longer to live the rest of [his] time in [the] flesh to men's lusts, but to God's will.

3 For, sufficient, is the bygone time—to have wrought out, the will of the nations, having gone on in wanton ways, covetings, wine-drinkings, revellings, drinking-bouts, and impious idolatries: —

For the time past [is] sufficient [for us] to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, walking in lasciviousness, lusts, wine-drinking, revels, drinkings, and unhallowed idolatries.

4 Wherein they are taken by surprise that ye run not with them into the same overflow of riotous excess, —uttering defamation:

Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with [them] to the same sink of corruption, speaking injuriously [of you];

5 Who shall render an account unto him who is holding in readiness to judge living and dead;

who shall render account to him who is ready to judge [the] living and [the] dead.

6 For, unto this end, even unto the dead, was the glad-message delivered, —in order that they might be judged, indeed, according to men in flesh, but might live according to God in spirit.

For to this [end] were the glad tidings preached to [the] dead also, that they might be judged, as regards men, after [the] flesh, but live, as regards God, after [the] Spirit.

7 But, the end of all things, hath drawn near: —be of sound mind, therefore, and be sober for prayers;

But the end of all things is drawn nigh: be sober therefore, and be watchful unto prayers;

8 Before all things, keeping, fervent, your love, among yourselves, because, love, covereth a multitude of sins;

but before all things having fervent love among yourselves, because love covers a multitude of sins;

9 Showing hospitality one to another without murmuring, —

hospitable one to another, without murmuring;

10 Each one, according as he hath received a gift of favour, unto one another, ministering the same, as careful stewards of the manifold favour of God:

each according as he has received a gift, ministering it to one another, as good stewards of [the] various grace of God.

11 If any one speaketh, as oracles of God, if any one ministereth, as of strength which, God, supplieth, —that, in all things, God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, —unto whom are the glory and the dominion, unto the ages of ages. Amen! (aiōn g165)

If any one speak — as oracles of God; if any one minister — as of strength which God supplies; that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the might for the ages of ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)

12 Beloved! be not held in surprise by the burning among you, which, for putting you to the proof, is befalling you, as though a, surprising, thing were happening unto you;

Beloved, take not [as] strange the fire [of persecution] which has taken place amongst you for [your] trial, as if a strange thing was happening to you;

13 But, in so far as ye are taking fellowship in the Christ’s sufferings, rejoice! in order that, in the revealing of his glory also, ye may rejoice with exultation:

but as ye have share in the sufferings of Christ, rejoice, that in the revelation of his glory also ye may rejoice with exultation.

14 If ye are being reproached in the name of Christ, happy [are ye]! Because, the Spirit, of the glory, and the [Spirit] of God, unto you is bringing rest.

If ye are reproached in [the] name of Christ, blessed [are ye]; for the [Spirit] of glory and the Spirit of God rests upon you: [on their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.]

15 For let, none of you, be suffering as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as one prying into other men’s affairs;

Let none of you suffer indeed as murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or as overseer of other people's matters;

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

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

17 For it is the ripe time for the judgment to begin with the house of God; but, if first with us, what shall be the end of them who yield not unto the glad-message of God?

For the time of having the judgment begin from the house of God [is come]; but if first from us, what [shall be] the end of those who obey not the glad tidings of God?

18 And, if, the righteous man, is, with difficulty, saved, where then shall, the ungodly and sinful man, appear?

And if the righteous is difficultly saved, where shall the impious and [the] sinner appear?

19 So then, let, them who are even suffering, according to the will of God, unto a faithful Creator, be committing their souls, in well-doing.

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