1 Χριστοῦ οὖν παθόντος (ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν *K*) σαρκὶ καὶ ὑμεῖς τὴν αὐτὴν ἔννοιαν ὁπλίσασθε, ὅτι ὁ παθὼν (ἐν *k*) σαρκὶ πέπαυται (ἁμαρτίας· *NK(o)*)
Christ, then, having suffered for us in [the] flesh, do ye also arm yourselves with the same mind; for he that has suffered in [the] flesh has done with sin,
2 εἰς τὸ μηκέτι ἀνθρώπων ἐπιθυμίαις, ἀλλὰ θελήματι θεοῦ τὸν ἐπίλοιπον ἐν σαρκὶ βιῶσαι χρόνον.
no longer to live the rest of [his] time in [the] flesh to men's lusts, but to God's will.
3 ἀρκετὸς γὰρ (ἡμῖν *K*) ὁ παρεληλυθὼς χρόνος (τοῦ βίου *K*) τὸ (βούλημα *N(k)O*) τῶν ἐθνῶν (κατειργάσθαι *N(k)O*) πεπορευμένους ἐν ἀσελγείαις, ἐπιθυμίαις, οἰνοφλυγίαις, κώμοις, πότοις, καὶ ἀθεμίτοις εἰδωλολατρίαις·
For the time past [is] sufficient [for us] to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, walking in lasciviousness, lusts, wine-drinking, revels, drinkings, and unhallowed idolatries.
4 ἐν ᾧ ξενίζονται μὴ συντρεχόντων ὑμῶν εἰς τὴν αὐτὴν τῆς ἀσωτίας ἀνάχυσιν βλασφημοῦντες,
Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with [them] to the same sink of corruption, speaking injuriously [of you];
5 οἳ ἀποδώσουσιν λόγον τῷ ἑτοίμως ἔχοντι (κρῖναι *NK(o)*) ζῶντας καὶ νεκρούς.
who shall render account to him who is ready to judge [the] living and [the] dead.
6 εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ καὶ νεκροῖς εὐηγγελίσθη, ἵνα κριθῶσιν μὲν κατὰ ἀνθρώπους σαρκί, ζῶσιν δὲ κατὰ θεὸν πνεύματι.
For to this [end] were the glad tidings preached to [the] dead also, that they might be judged, as regards men, after [the] flesh, but live, as regards God, after [the] Spirit.
7 Πάντων δὲ τὸ τέλος ἤγγικεν· σωφρονήσατε οὖν καὶ νήψατε εἰς (τὰς *k*) προσευχάς,
But the end of all things is drawn nigh: be sober therefore, and be watchful unto prayers;
8 πρὸ πάντων (δὲ *k*) τὴν εἰς ἑαυτοὺς ἀγάπην ἐκτενῆ ἔχοντες, ὅτι ἀγάπη (καλύπτει *N(k)O*) πλῆθος ἁμαρτιῶν.
but before all things having fervent love among yourselves, because love covers a multitude of sins;
9 φιλόξενοι εἰς ἀλλήλους ἄνευ (γογγυσμοῦ· *N(k)O*)
hospitable one to another, without murmuring;
10 ἕκαστος καθὼς ἔλαβεν χάρισμα εἰς ἑαυτοὺς αὐτὸ διακονοῦντες ὡς καλοὶ οἰκονόμοι ποικίλης χάριτος θεοῦ·
each according as he has received a gift, ministering it to one another, as good stewards of [the] various grace of God.
11 εἴ τις λαλεῖ ὡς λόγια θεοῦ· εἴ τις διακονεῖ ὡς ἐξ ἰσχύος (ἧς *NK(o)*) χορηγεῖ 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 any one speak — as oracles of God; if any one minister — as of strength which God supplies; that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the might for the ages of ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Ἀγαπητοί, μὴ ξενίζεσθε τῇ ἐν ὑμῖν πυρώσει πρὸς πειρασμὸν ὑμῖν γινομένῃ ὡς ξένου ὑμῖν συμβαίνοντος·
Beloved, take not [as] strange the fire [of persecution] which has taken place amongst you for [your] trial, as if a strange thing was happening to you;
13 ἀλλὰ καθὸ κοινωνεῖτε τοῖς τοῦ Χριστοῦ παθήμασιν χαίρετε, ἵνα καὶ ἐν τῇ ἀποκαλύψει τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ χαρῆτε ἀγαλλιώμενοι.
but as ye have share in the sufferings of Christ, rejoice, that in the revelation of his glory also ye may rejoice with exultation.
14 εἰ ὀνειδίζεσθε ἐν ὀνόματι Χριστοῦ, μακάριοι· ὅτι τὸ τῆς δόξης καὶ τὸ τοῦ θεοῦ πνεῦμα ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς ἀναπαύεται (κατὰ μὲν αὐτοὺς βλασφημεῖται κατὰ δὲ ὑμᾶς δοξάζεται. *K*)
If ye are reproached in [the] name of Christ, blessed [are ye]; for the [Spirit] of glory and the Spirit of God rests upon 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·
Let none of you suffer indeed as murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or as overseer of other people's matters;
16 εἰ δὲ ὡς Χριστιανός, μὴ αἰσχυνέσθω, δοξαζέτω δὲ τὸν θεὸν ἐν τῷ (ὀνόματι *N(K)O*) τούτῳ.
but if as a christian, let him not be ashamed, but glorify God in this name.
17 ὅτι ὁ καιρὸς τοῦ ἄρξασθαι τὸ κρίμα ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ θεοῦ· εἰ δὲ πρῶτον ἀφ᾽ ἡμῶν, τί τὸ τέλος τῶν ἀπειθούντων τῷ τοῦ θεοῦ εὐαγγελίῳ;
For the time of having the judgment begin from the house of God [is come]; but if first from us, what [shall be] the end of those who obey not the glad tidings of God?
18 καὶ εἰ ὁ δίκαιος μόλις σῴζεται, ὁ (δὲ *o*) ἀσεβὴς καὶ ἁμαρτωλὸς ποῦ φανεῖται;
And if the righteous is difficultly saved, where shall the impious and [the] sinner appear?
19 ὥστε καὶ οἱ πάσχοντες κατὰ τὸ θέλημα τοῦ θεοῦ (ὡς, *K*) πιστῷ κτίστῃ παρατιθέσθωσαν τὰς ψυχὰς (αὐτῶν *N(k)O*) ἐν ἀγαθοποιΐᾳ.
Wherefore also let them who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing to a faithful Creator.
