1 Peter 4

1 Therefore, because Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same intention. For whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin.

Χριστοῦ οὖν παθόντος (ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν *K*) σαρκὶ καὶ ὑμεῖς τὴν αὐτὴν ἔννοιαν ὁπλίσασθε, ὅτι ὁ παθὼν (ἐν *k*) σαρκὶ πέπαυται (ἁμαρτίας· *NK(o)*)

2 As a result, such a person, for the rest of his time in the flesh, no longer lives for men's desires, but for God's will.

εἰς τὸ μηκέτι ἀνθρώπων ἐπιθυμίαις, ἀλλὰ θελήματι θεοῦ τὸν ἐπίλοιπον ἐν σαρκὶ βιῶσαι χρόνον.

3 You have spent enough time doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passion, drunkenness, drunken celebrations, having wild parties, and committing disgusting acts of idolatry.

ἀρκετὸς γὰρ (ἡμῖν *K*) ὁ παρεληλυθὼς χρόνος (τοῦ βίου *K*) τὸ (βούλημα *N(k)O*) τῶν ἐθνῶν (κατειργάσθαι *N(k)O*) πεπορευμένους ἐν ἀσελγείαις, ἐπιθυμίαις, οἰνοφλυγίαις, κώμοις, πότοις, καὶ ἀθεμίτοις εἰδωλολατρίαις·

4 They think it is strange that you do not join with them in these floods of reckless behavior, so they speak evil about you.

ἐν ᾧ ξενίζονται μὴ συντρεχόντων ὑμῶν εἰς τὴν αὐτὴν τῆς ἀσωτίας ἀνάχυσιν βλασφημοῦντες,

5 They will give an account to the one who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

οἳ ἀποδώσουσιν λόγον τῷ ἑτοίμως ἔχοντι (κρῖναι *NK(o)*) ζῶντας καὶ νεκρούς.

6 For this purpose the gospel was preached also to the dead, so that, although they have been judged in the flesh as humans, they may live in the spirit the way God does.

εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ καὶ νεκροῖς εὐηγγελίσθη, ἵνα κριθῶσιν μὲν κατὰ ἀνθρώπους σαρκί, ζῶσιν δὲ κατὰ θεὸν πνεύματι.

7 The end of all things is coming near. Therefore be of sound mind, and be sober in your thinking for the sake of prayers.

Πάντων δὲ τὸ τέλος ἤγγικεν· σωφρονήσατε οὖν καὶ νήψατε εἰς (τὰς *k*) προσευχάς,

8 Above all things, have fervent love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins.

πρὸ πάντων (δὲ *k*) τὴν εἰς ἑαυτοὺς ἀγάπην ἐκτενῆ ἔχοντες, ὅτι ἀγάπη (καλύπτει *N(k)O*) πλῆθος ἁμαρτιῶν.

9 Be hospitable to one another without complaining.

φιλόξενοι εἰς ἀλλήλους ἄνευ (γογγυσμοῦ· *N(k)O*)

10 As each one of you has received a gift, use it to serve one another, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms.

ἕκαστος καθὼς ἔλαβεν χάρισμα εἰς ἑαυτοὺς αὐτὸ διακονοῦντες ὡς καλοὶ οἰκονόμοι ποικίλης χάριτος θεοῦ·

11 If anyone speaks, let it be with God's words. If anyone serves, let it be from the strength that God supplies. Do these things so that in all ways God would be glorified through Jesus Christ. May there be to Jesus Christ glory and power forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

εἴ τις λαλεῖ ὡς λόγια θεοῦ· εἴ τις διακονεῖ ὡς ἐξ ἰσχύος (ἧς *NK(o)*) χορηγεῖ ὁ θεός· ἵνα ἐν πᾶσιν δοξάζηται ὁ θεὸς διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ᾧ ἐστιν ἡ δόξα καὶ τὸ κράτος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων, ἀμήν. (aiōn g165)

12 Beloved, do not regard as strange the testing in the fire that has happened to you, as if something strange were happening to you.

Ἀγαπητοί, μὴ ξενίζεσθε τῇ ἐν ὑμῖν πυρώσει πρὸς πειρασμὸν ὑμῖν γινομένῃ ὡς ξένου ὑμῖν συμβαίνοντος·

13 Instead, however much you experience the sufferings of Christ, rejoice, so that you may also rejoice and be glad at the revealing of his glory.

ἀλλὰ καθὸ κοινωνεῖτε τοῖς τοῦ Χριστοῦ παθήμασιν χαίρετε, ἵνα καὶ ἐν τῇ ἀποκαλύψει τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ χαρῆτε ἀγαλλιώμενοι.

14 If you are insulted for Christ's name, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and the Spirit of God is resting on you.

εἰ ὀνειδίζεσθε ἐν ὀνόματι Χριστοῦ, μακάριοι· ὅτι τὸ τῆς δόξης καὶ τὸ τοῦ θεοῦ πνεῦμα ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς ἀναπαύεται (κατὰ μὲν αὐτοὺς βλασφημεῖται κατὰ δὲ ὑμᾶς δοξάζεται. *K*)

15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or a meddler.

Μὴ γάρ τις ὑμῶν πασχέτω ὡς φονεὺς ἢ κλέπτης ἢ κακοποιὸς ἢ ὡς ἀλλοτριεπίσκοπος·

16 But if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; instead, let him glorify God with that name.

εἰ δὲ ὡς Χριστιανός, μὴ αἰσχυνέσθω, δοξαζέτω δὲ τὸν θεὸν ἐν τῷ (ὀνόματι *N(K)O*) τούτῳ.

17 For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God. If it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey God's gospel?

ὅτι ὁ καιρὸς τοῦ ἄρξασθαι τὸ κρίμα ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ θεοῦ· εἰ δὲ πρῶτον ἀφ᾽ ἡμῶν, τί τὸ τέλος τῶν ἀπειθούντων τῷ τοῦ θεοῦ εὐαγγελίῳ;

18 And “If it is difficult for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”

καὶ εἰ ὁ δίκαιος μόλις σῴζεται, ὁ (δὲ *o*) ἀσεβὴς καὶ ἁμαρτωλὸς ποῦ φανεῖται;

19 Therefore let those who suffer because of God's will entrust their souls to the faithful Creator in well-doing.

ὥστε καὶ οἱ πάσχοντες κατὰ τὸ θέλημα τοῦ θεοῦ (ὡς, *K*) πιστῷ κτίστῃ παρατιθέσθωσαν τὰς ψυχὰς (αὐτῶν *N(k)O*) ἐν ἀγαθοποιΐᾳ.
