< Πετρου Α΄ 4 >

1 Χριστοῦ οὖν ⸀παθόντοςσαρκὶ καὶ ὑμεῖς τὴν αὐτὴν ἔννοιαν ὁπλίσασθε, ὅτι ὁ ⸀παθὼνσαρκὶ πέπαυται ⸀ἁμαρτίας
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 εἰς τὸ μηκέτι ἀνθρώπων ἐπιθυμίαις ἀλλὰ θελήματι θεοῦ τὸν ἐπίλοιπον ἐν σαρκὶ βιῶσαι χρόνον.
that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for human desires, but for the will of God.
3 ἀρκετὸς ⸀γὰρὁ παρεληλυθὼς ⸀χρόνοςτὸ ⸀βούληματῶν ἐθνῶν ⸀κατειργάσθαι πεπορευμένους ἐν ἀσελγείαις, ἐπιθυμίαις, οἰνοφλυγίαις, κώμοις, πότοις, καὶ ἀθεμίτοις εἰδωλολατρίαις.
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 ἐν ᾧ ξενίζονται μὴ συντρεχόντων ὑμῶν εἰς τὴν αὐτὴν τῆς ἀσωτίας ἀνάχυσιν, βλασφημοῦντες·
They think it is strange that you do not run with them into the same flood of debauchery, blaspheming:
5 οἳ ἀποδώσουσιν λόγον τῷ ἑτοίμως ⸂ἔχοντι κρῖναι ζῶντας καὶ νεκρούς·
who will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
6 εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ καὶ νεκροῖς εὐηγγελίσθη ἵνα κριθῶσι μὲν κατὰ ἀνθρώπους σαρκὶ ζῶσι δὲ κατὰ θεὸν πνεύματι.
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 Πάντων δὲ τὸ τέλος ἤγγικεν. σωφρονήσατε οὖν καὶ νήψατε ⸀εἰςπροσευχάς·
But the end of all things is near. Therefore be serious and disciplined in your prayers.
8 πρὸ ⸀πάντωντὴν εἰς ἑαυτοὺς ἀγάπην ἐκτενῆ ἔχοντες, ὅτι ἀγάπη ⸀καλύπτειπλῆθος ἁμαρτιῶν·
Above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.
9 φιλόξενοι εἰς ἀλλήλους ἄνευ ⸀γογγυσμοῦ
Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
10 ἕκαστος καθὼς ἔλαβεν χάρισμα, εἰς ἑαυτοὺς αὐτὸ διακονοῦντες ὡς καλοὶ οἰκονόμοι ποικίλης χάριτος θεοῦ·
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 εἴ τις λαλεῖ, ὡς λόγια θεοῦ· εἴ τις διακονεῖ, ὡς ἐξ ἰσχύος ⸀ἧςχορηγεῖ 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)
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 Ἀγαπητοί, μὴ ξενίζεσθε τῇ ἐν ὑμῖν πυρώσει πρὸς πειρασμὸν ὑμῖν γινομένῃ ὡς ξένου ὑμῖν συμβαίνοντος,
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 ἀλλὰ καθὸ κοινωνεῖτε τοῖς τοῦ Χριστοῦ παθήμασιν χαίρετε, ἵνα καὶ ἐν τῇ ἀποκαλύψει τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ χαρῆτε ἀγαλλιώμενοι.
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 εἰ ὀνειδίζεσθε ἐν ὀνόματι Χριστοῦ, μακάριοι, ὅτι τὸ τῆς δόξης καὶ τὸ τοῦ θεοῦ πνεῦμα ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς ⸀ἀναπαύεται
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 μὴ γάρ τις ὑμῶν πασχέτω ὡς φονεὺς ἢ κλέπτης ἢ κακοποιὸς ἢ ὡς ἀλλοτριεπίσκοπος·
For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler.
16 εἰ δὲ ὡς Χριστιανός, μὴ αἰσχυνέσθω, δοξαζέτω δὲ τὸν θεὸν ἐν τῷ ⸀ὀνόματιτούτῳ.
But if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this name.
17 ὅτι ὁ καιρὸς τοῦ ἄρξασθαι τὸ κρίμα ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ θεοῦ· εἰ δὲ πρῶτον ἀφʼ ἡμῶν, τί τὸ τέλος τῶν ἀπειθούντων τῷ τοῦ θεοῦ εὐαγγελίῳ;
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 καὶ εἰ ὁ δίκαιος μόλις σῴζεται, ⸀ὁ ἀσεβὴς καὶ ἁμαρτωλὸς ποῦ φανεῖται;
And "If the righteous is delivered with difficulty, where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?"
19 ὥστε καὶ οἱ πάσχοντες κατὰ τὸ θέλημα τοῦ ⸀θεοῦπιστῷ κτίστῃ παρατιθέσθωσαν τὰς ψυχὰς ⸀αὐτῶνἐν ἀγαθοποιΐᾳ.
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.
