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--
Christo igitur passo in carne et vos eadem cogitatione armamini quia qui passus est carne desiit a peccatis
2 that in future you may spend the rest of your earthly lives, governed not by human passions, but by the will of God.
ut iam non hominum desideriis sed voluntate Dei quod reliquum est in carne vivat temporis
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.
sufficit enim praeteritum tempus ad voluntatem gentium consummandam qui ambulaverunt in luxuriis desideriis vinolentiis comesationibus potationibus et inlicitis idolorum cultibus
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.
in quo peregrinantur non concurrentibus vobis in eandem luxuriae confusionem blasphemantes
5 But they will have to give account to Him who stands ready to pronounce judgement on the living and the dead.
qui reddent rationem ei qui paratus est iudicare vivos et mortuos
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.
propter hoc enim et mortuis evangelizatum est ut iudicentur quidem secundum homines in carne vivant autem secundum Deum spiritu
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.
omnium autem finis adpropinquavit estote itaque prudentes et vigilate in orationibus
8 Above all continue to love one another fervently, for love throws a veil over a multitude of faults.
ante omnia mutuam in vosmet ipsos caritatem continuam habentes quia caritas operit multitudinem peccatorum
9 Extend ungrudging hospitality towards one another.
hospitales invicem sine murmuratione
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.
unusquisque sicut accepit gratiam in alterutrum illam administrantes sicut boni dispensatores multiformis gratiae Dei
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)
si quis loquitur quasi sermones Dei si quis ministrat tamquam ex virtute quam administrat Deus ut in omnibus honorificetur Deus per Iesum Christum cui est gloria et imperium in saecula saeculorum amen (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.
carissimi nolite peregrinari in fervore qui ad temptationem vobis fit quasi novi aliquid vobis contingat
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.
sed communicantes Christi passionibus gaudete ut et in revelatione gloriae eius gaudeatis exultantes
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.
si exprobramini in nomine Christi beati quoniam gloriae Dei Spiritus in vobis requiescit
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.
nemo enim vestrum patiatur quasi homicida aut fur aut maledicus aut alienorum appetitor
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.
si autem ut Christianus non erubescat glorificet autem Deum in isto nomine
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?
quoniam tempus ut incipiat iudicium de domo Dei si autem primum a nobis qui finis eorum qui non credunt Dei evangelio
18 And if it is difficult even for a righteous man to be saved, what will become of irreligious men and sinners?
et si iustus vix salvatur impius et peccator ubi parebit
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.
itaque et hii qui patiuntur secundum voluntatem Dei fideli creatori commendant animas suas in benefactis
