1 Peter 4
1 Since, then, Christ has suffered in the flesh, you also must arm yourselves with a determination to do the same--because he who has suffered in the flesh has done with sin--
χριστου ουν παθοντοσ υπερ ημων σαρκι και υμεισ την αυτην εννοιαν οπλισασθε οτι ο παθων εν σαρκι πεπαυται αμαρτιασ
2 that in future you may spend the rest of your earthly lives, governed not by human passions, but by the will of God.
εισ το μηκετι ανθρωπων επιθυμιαισ αλλα θεληματι θεου τον επιλοιπον εν σαρκι βιωσαι χρονον
3 For you have given time enough in the past to the doing of the things which the Gentiles delight in-- pursuing, as you did, a course of habitual licence, debauchery, hard drinking, noisy revelry, drunkenness and unholy image-worship.
αρκετοσ γαρ ημιν ο παρεληλυθωσ χρονοσ του βιου το θελημα των εθνων κατεργασασθαι πεπορευμενουσ εν ασελγειαισ επιθυμιαισ οινοφλυγιαισ κωμοισ ποτοισ και αθεμιτοισ ειδωλολατρειαισ
4 At this they are astonished--that you do not run into the same excess of profligacy as they do; and they speak abusively of you.
εν ω ξενιζονται μη συντρεχοντων υμων εισ την αυτην τησ ασωτιασ αναχυσιν βλασφημουντεσ
5 But they will have to give account to Him who stands ready to pronounce judgement on the living and the dead.
οι αποδωσουσιν λογον τω ετοιμωσ εχοντι κριναι ζωντασ και νεκρουσ
6 For it is with this end in view that the Good News was proclaimed even to some who were dead, that they may be judged, as all mankind will be judged, in the body, but may be living a godly life in the spirit.
εισ τουτο γαρ και νεκροισ ευηγγελισθη ινα κριθωσιν μεν κατα ανθρωπουσ σαρκι ζωσιν δε κατα θεον πνευματι
7 But the end of all things is now close at hand: therefore be sober-minded and temperate, so that you may give yourselves to prayer.
παντων δε το τελοσ ηγγικεν σωφρονησατε ουν και νηψατε εισ τασ προσευχασ
8 Above all continue to love one another fervently, for love throws a veil over a multitude of faults.
προ παντων δε την εισ εαυτουσ αγαπην εκτενη εχοντεσ οτι αγαπη καλυψει πληθοσ αμαρτιων
9 Extend ungrudging hospitality towards one another.
φιλοξενοι εισ αλληλουσ ανευ γογγυσμων
10 Whatever be the gifts which each has received, you must use them for one another's benefit, as good stewards of God's many-sided kindness.
εκαστοσ καθωσ ελαβεν χαρισμα εισ εαυτουσ αυτο διακονουντεσ ωσ καλοι οικονομοι ποικιλησ χαριτοσ θεου
11 If any one preaches, let it be as uttering God's truth; if any one renders a service to others, let it be in the strength which God supplies; so that in everything glory may be given to God in the name of Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the might to the Ages of the Ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
ει τισ λαλει ωσ λογια θεου ει τισ διακονει ωσ εξ ισχυοσ ωσ χορηγει ο θεοσ ινα εν πασιν δοξαζηται ο θεοσ δια ιησου χριστου ω εστιν η δοξα και το κρατοσ εισ τουσ αιωνασ των αιωνων αμην (aiōn g165)
12 Dear friends, do not be surprised at finding that that scorching flame of persecution is raging among you to put you to the test--as though some surprising thing were accidentally happening to you.
αγαπητοι μη ξενιζεσθε τη εν υμιν πυρωσει προσ πειρασμον υμιν γινομενη ωσ ξενου υμιν συμβαινοντοσ
13 On the contrary, in the degree that you share in the sufferings of the Christ, rejoice, so that at the unveiling of His glory you may also rejoice with triumphant gladness.
αλλα καθο κοινωνειτε τοισ του χριστου παθημασιν χαιρετε ινα και εν τη αποκαλυψει τησ δοξησ αυτου χαρητε αγαλλιωμενοι
14 You are to be envied, if you are being reproached for bearing the name of Christ; for in that case the Spirit of glory-- even the Spirit of God--is resting upon you.
ει ονειδιζεσθε εν ονοματι χριστου μακαριοι οτι το τησ δοξησ και το του θεου πνευμα εφ υμασ αναπαυεται κατα μεν αυτουσ βλασφημειται κατα δε υμασ δοξαζεται
15 But let not one of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evil-doer, or as a spy upon other people's business.
μη γαρ τισ υμων πασχετω ωσ φονευσ η κλεπτησ η κακοποιοσ η ωσ αλλοτριοεπισκοποσ
16 If, however, any one suffers because he is a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God for being permitted to bear that name.
ει δε ωσ χριστιανοσ μη αισχυνεσθω δοξαζετω δε τον θεον εν τω μερει τουτω
17 For the time has come for judgement to begin, and to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the end of those who reject God's Good News?
οτι ο καιροσ του αρξασθαι το κριμα απο του οικου του θεου ει δε πρωτον αφ ημων τι το τελοσ των απειθουντων τω του θεου ευαγγελιω
18 And if it is difficult even for a righteous man to be saved, what will become of irreligious men and sinners?
και ει ο δικαιοσ μολισ σωζεται ο ασεβησ και αμαρτωλοσ που φανειται
19 Therefore also, let those who are suffering in accordance with the will of God entrust their souls in well-doing to a faithful Creator.
ωστε και οι πασχοντεσ κατα το θελημα του θεου ωσ πιστω κτιστη παρατιθεσθωσαν τασ ψυχασ αυτων εν αγαθοποιια
