1 Peter 4

1 Therfor for Crist suffride in fleisch, be ye also armed bi the same thenkynge; for he that suffride in fleisch ceesside fro synnes,

Therefore Christ having suffered in the flesh, you also arm yourselves with the same mind: because the one having suffered in carnality has ceased from sin;

2 that that is left now in fleisch lyue not now to the desiris of men, but to the wille of God.

that he may no longer live the remaining time in carnality according to the lusts of men, but in the will of God.

3 For the time that is passid is ynow to the wille of hethene men to be endid, whiche walkiden in letcheries, and lustis, in myche drinking of wyn, in vnmesurable etyngis, and drynkyngis, and vnleueful worschiping of mawmetis.

For the past time is sufficient to have wrought the will of the heathens, walking in impurities, in lusts, in wine-drinkings, in revelries, in intemperance, and in unlawful idolatries:

4 In whiche now thei ben astonyed, in which thing thei wondren, for ye rennen not togidere `in to the same confusioun of letcherie, and blasfemen.

in which they are astonished you not running to the same excess of wrath, blaspheming;

5 And thei schulen yyue resoun to hym, that is redi to deme the quyke and the deed.

who shall give an account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

6 For whi for this thing it is prechid also to deed men, that thei be demed bi men in fleisch, and that thei lyue bi God in spirit.

For, unto this the gospel was also preached to the dead, in order that they may indeed be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

7 For the ende of alle thingis schal neiye. Therfor be ye prudent, and wake ye in preyeris;

But the end of all things is at hand. Therefore be prudent, and sober unto prayers:

8 bifore alle thingis haue ye charite ech to other in you silf algatis lastynge; for charite couerith the multitude of synnes.

before all things having divine love stedfast toward one another; because divine love covers a multitude of sins:

9 Holde ye hospitalite togidere with out grutching;

being hospitable to one another without grudging;

10 ech man as he hath resseyued grace, mynystringe it in to ech othere, as good dispenderis of the manyfold grace of God.

as each one received the gift of grace, ministering the same to one another, as the good stewards of the manifold grace of God:

11 If ony man spekith, speke he as the wordis of God; if ony man mynystrith, as of the vertu which God mynystrith; that God be onourid in alle thingis bi Jhesu Crist oure Lord, to whom is glorie and lordschip in to worldis `of worldis. (aiōn g165)

if any one speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any one ministers, as from the strength which God supplies; in order that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ; to whom there is glory and power unto the ages of the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)

12 Amen. Moost dere brytheren, nyle ye go in pilgrymage in feruour, that is maad to you to temptacioun, as if ony newe thing bifalle to you;

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial among you, coming upon you unto your testing: as some strange thing happening to you:

13 but comyne ye with the passiouns of Crist, and haue ye ioye, that also ye be glad, and haue ioye in the reuelacioun of his glorie.

but as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, rejoice; in order that you may also rejoice in the revelation of his glory, being glad.

14 If ye ben dispisid for the name of Crist, ye schulen be blessid; for that that is of the onour, and of the glorie, and of the vertu of God, and the spirit that is his, schal reste on you.

If you suffer reproach in the name of Christ, happy are you, because the spirit of the glory and the spirit of God rest on you.

15 But no man of you suffre as a mansleere, ethir a theef, ether cursere, ethir a disirere of othere mennus goodis;

But let no one of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a meddler in other people's business:

16 but if as a cristen man, schame he not, but glorifie he God in this name.

but if as a Christian, be not ashamed, but glorify God in this name.

17 For tyme is, that doom bigynne at Goddis hous; and if it bigynne first at vs, what ende schal be of hem, that bileuen not to the gospel?

Because it is time that judgment should begin from the house of God: and if it is first from us, what shall be the end of those who obey not the gospel of God?

18 And if a iust man vnnethe schal be sauid, where schulen the vnfeithful man and the synnere appere?

And if the righteous is scarcely saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

19 Therfor and thei that suffren bi the wille of God, bitaken her soulis in good dedis to the feithful makere of nouyt.

So let those indeed suffering according to the will of God submit their souls to the faithful Creator, in good work.
