Πετρου Α΄ 4

1 χριστου ουν παθοντος υπερ ημων σαρκι και υμεις την αυτην εννοιαν οπλισασθε οτι ο παθων [ εν ] σαρκι πεπαυται αμαρτιας

Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;

2 εις το μηκετι ανθρωπων επιθυμιαις αλλα θεληματι θεου τον επιλοιπον εν σαρκι βιωσαι χρονον

that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for human desires, but for the will of God.

3 αρκετος γαρ υμιν ο παρεληλυθως χρονος του βιου το θελημα των εθνων κατεργασασθαι πεπορευμενους εν ασελγειαις επιθυμιαις οινοφλυγιαις κωμοις ποτοις και αθεμιτοις ειδωλολατριαις

For enough time in the past has been spent doing the will of the unbelievers, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.

4 εν ω ξενιζονται μη συντρεχοντων υμων εις την αυτην της ασωτιας αναχυσιν βλασφημουντες

They think it is strange that you do not run with them into the same flood of debauchery, blaspheming:

5 οι αποδωσουσιν λογον τω ετοιμως εχοντι κριναι ζωντας και νεκρους

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

6 εις τουτο γαρ και νεκροις ευηγγελισθη ινα κριθωσιν μεν κατα ανθρωπους σαρκι ζωσιν δε κατα θεον πνευματι

For this reason also the Good News was preached to those who are now dead, that they might be judged according to man in the flesh, but might live according to God in the Spirit.

7 παντων δε το τελος ηγγικεν σωφρονησατε ουν και νηψατε εις τας προσευχας

But the end of all things is near. Therefore be serious and disciplined in your prayers.

8 προ παντων δε την εις εαυτους αγαπην εκτενη εχοντες οτι [ η ] αγαπη καλυψει πληθος αμαρτιων

Above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.

9 φιλοξενοι εις αλληλους ανευ γογγυσμων

Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.

10 εκαστος καθως ελαβεν χαρισμα εις εαυτους αυτο διακονουντες ως καλοι οικονομοι ποικιλης χαριτος θεου

As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.

11 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)

If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

12 αγαπητοι μη ξενιζεσθε τη εν υμιν πυρωσει προς πειρασμον υμιν γινομενη ως ξενου υμιν συμβαινοντος

Beloved, do not be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you, to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.

13 αλλα καθο κοινωνειτε τοις του χριστου παθημασιν χαιρετε ινα και εν τη αποκαλυψει της δοξης αυτου χαρητε αγαλλιωμενοι

But because you are partakers of Christ's sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.

14 ει ονειδιζεσθε εν ονοματι χριστου μακαριοι οτι το της δοξης και δυναμεως και το του θεου πνευμα εφ υμας αναπαυεται κατα μεν αυτους βλασφημειται κατα δε υμας δοξαζεται

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

15 μη γαρ τις υμων πασχετω ως φονευς η κλεπτης η κακοποιος η ως αλλοτριοεπισκοπος

For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler.

16 ει δε ως χριστιανος μη αισχυνεσθω δοξαζετω δε τον θεον εν τω μερει τουτω

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

17 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

For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins first with us, what will happen to those who do not obey the Good News of God?

18 και ει ο δικαιος μολις σωζεται ο ασεβης και αμαρτωλος που φανειται

And "If the righteous is delivered with difficulty, where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?"

19 ωστε και οι πασχοντες κατα το θελημα του θεου ως πιστω κτιστη παρατιθεσθωσαν τας ψυχας αυτων εν αγαθοποιια

Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.
