1 Peter 4

1 Christ therefore having suffered (for of us *K*) in [the] flesh also you yourselves the same mind do arm yourselves with, because the [one] having suffered (in *k*) [the] flesh has himself done (with sin; *NK(o)*)

Therefore, since Christ has suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same mentality, because whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

2 so as no longer to men’s desires but to [the] will of God the remaining in [the] flesh to live time.

so as to live his remaining time in the flesh no longer for the evil desires of men, but for the will of God.

3 [Is] sufficient for (to us *K*) the having past time (of life *K*) the (desire *N(k)O*) of the Gentiles (to have carried out *N(k)O*) having walked in sensuality, in lusts, in drunkenness, in orgies, in carousing, and in abominable idolatries;

For we have spent enough of our lives doing what the Gentiles like to do, walking in sensual indulgences, evil desires, excesses of wine, revelries, drinking bouts, and illicit idolatries.

4 With respect to this they think it strange not running with [them] of you into the same of debauchery overflow denigrating [you],

They are surprised when you do not run with them into the same flood of debauchery, so they revile you.

5 who will give account to Him who ready is (to judge *NK(o)*) [the] living and [the] dead.

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

6 To this [end] indeed even to [the] dead it was evangelised, so that they may be judged indeed according to men in [the] flesh, they may live however according to God in [the] spirit.

For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to the dead, so that, though they have been judged in the flesh as men are, they might live in the spirit as God does.

7 Of all now the end has drawn near; do be clear-minded therefore and do sober for the purpose of (*k*) prayers

The end of all things has drawn near. Therefore be alert and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers.

8 above all things (now *k*) among yourselves love fervent having, because love (covers over *N(k)O*) a multitude of sins.

Above all, maintain a deep love for one another, because love will cover a multitude of sins.

9 hospitable to one another without (complaint; *N(k)O*)

Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.

10 each even as has received a gift to each other them serving as good stewards of [the] manifold grace of God:

As each of you has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

11 if anyone speaks as oracles of God; if anyone serves as of strength (which *NK(o)*) supplies God; so that in all things may be glorified God through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory and the power to the ages of the ages, Amen. (aiōn g165)

If anyone speaks, he should do so as one who speaks the oracles of God; if anyone serves, he should do so as one who serves from strength as God supplies it, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

12 Beloved, not do be surprised at the among you fire for a trial to you taking place as if a strange thing to you were happening;

Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial that has come upon you to test you, as though a strange thing were happening to you.

13 But as you have shared in the of Christ sufferings do rejoice, so that also in the revelation of the glory of Him you may rejoice exulting.

But insofar as you share in the sufferings of Christ, rejoice, so that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.

14 If you are insulted in [the] name of Christ, [you are] blessed; because of glory and of God [the] Spirit upon you rests (according to indeed them he is blasphemed according to however you he is honored. *K*)

If you are reproached for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.

15 Not for any of you should suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a troublesome meddler;

None of you should suffer as a murderer, thief, evildoer, or meddler,

16 if however as a Christian, not he should be ashamed, he should glorify however God in (name *N(K)O*) this.

but if anyone suffers as a Christian, he should not be ashamed, but should glorify God in this matter.

17 For [it is] the time [for] to have begun the judgment from the house of God; if now first from us, what [will be] the outcome of those disobeying the of God gospel?

For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God, and if it begins first with us, what will be the outcome for those who are disobedient to the gospel of God?

18 And If the righteous [one] with difficulty is saved, the (now *o*) ungodly and sinner where will appear?

And, “If the righteous man is scarcely saved, what will become of the ungodly man and sinner?”

19 Therefore also those suffering according to the will of God (as *K*) to [the] faithful Creator they should commit the souls (of them *N(k)O*) in well doing.

Therefore, those who suffer according to the will of God should entrust their souls to him as their faithful Creator while doing what is good.
