베드로전서 4
1 그리스도께서 이미 육체에 고난을 받으셨으니 너희도 같은 마음으로 갑옷을 삼으라 이는 육체의 고난을 받은 자가 죄를 그쳤음이니
Since, then, Christ suffered in body, arm yourselves with the same resolve as he; for he who has suffered in body has ceased to sin,
2 그 후로는 다시 사람의 정욕을 좇지 않고 오직 하나님의 뜻을 좇아 육체의 남은 때를 살게 하려 함이라
and so will live the rest of his earthly life guided, not by human passions, but by the will of God.
3 너희가 음란과 정욕과 술취함과 방탕과 연락과 무법한 우상 숭배를 하여 이방인의 뜻을 좇아 행한 것이 지나간 때가 족하도다
Surely in the past you have spent time enough living as the Gentiles delight to live. For your path has lain among scenes of debauchery, licentiousness, drunkenness, revelry, hard-drinking, and profane idolatry.
4 이러므로 너희가 저희와 함께 그런 극한 방탕에 달음질하지 아니하는 것을 저희가 이상히 여겨 비방하나
And, because you do not run to the same extremes of profligacy as others, they are astonished, and malign you.
5 저희가 산 자와 죽은 자 심판하기를 예비하신 자에게 직고하리라
But they will have to answer for their conduct to him who is ready to judge both the living and the dead.
6 이를 위하여 죽은 자들에게도 복음이 전파되었으니 이는 육체로는 사람처럼 심판을 받으나 영으로는 하나님처럼 살게 하려 함이니라
For that was why the good news was told to the dead also – that, after they have been judged in the body, as people are judged, they might live in the spirit, as God lives.
7 만물의 마지막이 가까왔으니 그러므로 너희는 정신을 차리고 근신하여 기도하라
But the end of all things is near. Therefore exercise self-restraint and be calm, so that you may be able to pray.
8 무엇보다도 열심으로 서로 사랑할지니 사랑은 허다한 죄를 덮느니라
Above all things, let your love for one another be earnest, for ‘Love throws a veil over countless sins.’
9 서로 대접하기를 원망 없이 하고
Never grudge hospitality to one another.
10 각각 은사를 받은 대로 하나님의 각양 은혜를 맡은 선한 청지기같이 서로 봉사하라
Whatever the gift that each has received, use it in the service of others, as good stewards of the varied bounty of God.
11 만일 누가 말하려면 하나님의 말씀을 하는 것같이 하고 누가 봉사하려면 하나님의 공급하시는 힘으로 하는 것같이 하라 이는 범사에 예수 그리스도로 말미암아 하나님이 영광을 받으시게 하려 함이니 그에게 영광과 권능이 세세에 무궁토록 있느니라 아멘 (aiōn g165)
When anyone speaks, they should speak as one who is delivering the oracles of God. When anyone is endeavoring to serve others, they should do so in reliance on the strength which God supplies; so that in everything God may be honored through Jesus Christ – to whom be ascribed all honor and might for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 사랑하는 자들아 너희를 시련하려고 오는 불시험을 이상한 일 당하는 것같이 이상히 여기지 말고
Dear friends, do not be astonished at the trial of fire that you are passing through, to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.
13 오직 너희가 그리스도의 고난에 참예하는 것으로 즐거워하라 이는 그의 영광을 나타내실 때에 너희로 즐거워하고 기뻐하게 하려함이라
No, the more you share the sufferings of the Christ, the more may you rejoice, that, when the time comes for the manifestation of his glory, you may rejoice and exult.
14 너희가 그리스도의 이름으로 욕을 받으면 복 있는 자로다 영광의 영 곧 하나님의 영이 너희 위에 계심이라
If you are insulted for bearing the name of Christ, count yourselves blessed; because the divine glory and the Spirit of God are resting on you.
I need hardly say that no one among you must suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or a criminal, or for interfering in matters which do not concern Christians.
But, if someone suffers as a Christian, they should not be ashamed of it; they should bring honor to God even though they bear that name.
For the time has come for judgment to begin with the house of God; and, if it begins with us, what will be the end of those who reject God’s good news?
If ‘a good person is saved only with difficulty, what will become of the godless and the sinful?’
Therefore, I say, let those who suffer, because God wills it so, commit their lives into the hands of a faithful Creator, and persevere in doing right.
