For as much thenG3767 as ChristG5547 has sufferedG3958 for us in the flesh,G4561 armG3695 yourselves likewiseG2532 with the sameG846 mind:G1771 for he that has sufferedG3958 in the fleshG4561 has ceasedG3973 from sin;G266
2
That he noG3371 longerG3371 should liveG980 the restG1954 of his timeG5550 in the fleshG4561 to the lustsG1939 of men,G444 but to the willG2307 of God.G2316
3
For the timeG5550 pastG3928 of our lifeG979 may sufficeG713 us to have workedG2716 the willG2307 of the Gentiles,G1484 when we walkedG4198 in lasciviousness,G766 lusts,G1939 excessG3632 of wine,G3632 revelings,G2970 parties,G4224 and abominableG111 idolatries:G1495
4
WhereinG1722 G3757 they think it strangeG3579 that you runG4936 not with them to the sameG846 excessG401 of riot,G810 speakingG987 evilG987 of you:
5
WhoG3739 shall giveG591 accountG3056 to him that is readyG2093 to judgeG2919 the quickG2198 and the dead.G3498
6
For for thisG5124 cause was the gospelG2097 preachedG2097 alsoG2532 to them that are dead,G3498 that they might be judgedG2919 accordingG2596 to menG444 in the flesh,G4561 but liveG2198 accordingG2596 to GodG2316 in the spirit.G4151
7
But the endG5056 of allG3956 things is atG1448 hand:G1448 be you thereforeG3767 sober,G4993 and watchG3525 to prayer.G4335
8
And aboveG4253 allG3956 things haveG2192 ferventG1618 charityG26 amongG1519 yourselves:G1438 for charityG26 shall coverG2572 the multitudeG4128 of sins.G266
9
UseG5382 hospitalityG5382 oneG240 to anotherG240 withoutG427 grudging.G1112
10
As everyG1538 man has receivedG2983 the gift,G5486 even so ministerG1247 the sameG846 oneG1438 to another,G1438 as goodG2570 stewardsG3623 of the manifoldG4164 graceG5485 of God.G2316
11
IfG1487 anyG1536 man speak,G2980 let him speakG2980 as the oraclesG3051 of God;G2316 ifG1487 anyG1536 man minister,G1247 let him do it as of the abilityG2479 whichG3739 GodG2316 gives:G5524 that GodG2316 in allG3956 things may be glorifiedG1392 throughG1223 JesusG2424 Christ,G5547 to whomG3739 be praiseG1391 and dominionG2904 for everG165 and ever.G165 Amen.G281
12
Beloved,G27 think it not strangeG3579 concerningG4012 the fieryG4451 trial which is to tryG4314 G3986 you, as though some strangeG3581 thing happenedG4819 to you:
13
But rejoice,G5463 inasmuchG2526 as you are partakersG2841 of Christ'sG5547 sufferings;G3804 that, whenG1722 G3588 his gloryG1391 shall be revealed,G602 you may be gladG5463 alsoG2532 with exceeding joy.G21
14
IfG1487 you be reproachedG3679 for the nameG3686 of Christ,G5547 happyG3107 are you; for the spiritG4151 of gloryG1391 and of GodG2316 restsG373 onG2596 you: on their part he is evilG987 spokenG987 of, but onG2596 yourG5209 part he is glorified.G1392
15
But let noneG3361 of you sufferG3958 as a murderer,G5406 orG2228 as a thief,G2812 orG2228 as an evildoer,G2555 orG2228 as a busybodyG244 in otherG244 men's matters.
16
YetG1161 ifG1487 any man suffer as a Christian,G5546 let him not be ashamed;G153 but let him glorifyG1392 GodG2316 onG1722 thisG5129 behalf.G3313
17
For the timeG2540 is come that judgmentG2917 must beginG756 atG575 the houseG3624 of God:G2316 and ifG1487 it firstG4412 begin atG575 us, whatG5101 shall the endG5056 be of them that obeyG544 not the gospelG2098 of God?G2316
18
And ifG1487 the righteousG1342 scarcelyG3433 be saved,G4982 whereG4226 shall the ungodlyG765 and the sinnerG268 appear?G5316
19
WhyG5620 let them that sufferG3958 accordingG2596 to the willG2307 of GodG2316 commitG3908 the keeping of their soulsG5590 to him in wellG16 doing,G16 as to a faithfulG4103 Creator.G2939
