[1] Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind; for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, [2] that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. [3] For we have spent enough of our past time doing the desire of the Gentiles, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunken binges, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries. [4] They think it is strange that you don’t run with them into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you. [5] They will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. [6] For to this end the Good News was preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed as men in the flesh, but live as to God in the spirit. [7] But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer. [8] And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins. [9] Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. [10] 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] 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. [12] Beloved, don’t be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you. [13] 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] 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] But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler in other men’s matters. [16] But if one of you suffers for being a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this matter. [17] For the time has come for judgment to begin with the household of God. If it begins first with us, what will happen to those who don’t obey the Good News of God? [18] “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will happen to the ungodly and the sinner?”† [19] 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.

King James Version
[1] Forasmuch G3958 then G3767 as G3958 Christ G5547 hath suffered G3958 for G5228 us G2257 in the flesh, G4561 arm G3695 yourselves G5210 likewise G2532 with the G3588 same G846 mind: G1771 for G3754 he that G3588 hath suffered G3958 in G1722 the flesh G4561 hath ceased G3973 from sin; G266 [2] that G1519 he G980 no longer G3371 should live G980 the G3588 rest G1954 of his time G5550 in G1722 the flesh G4561 to the lusts G1939 of men, G444 but G235 to the will G2307 of God. G2316 [3] For G1063 the G3588 time G5550 past G3928 of our life G979 may suffice G713 us G2254 to have wrought G2716 the G3588 will G2307 of the G3588 Gentiles, G1484 when we walked G4198 in G1722 lasciviousness, G766 lusts, G1939 excess of wine, G3632 revellings, G2970 banquetings, G4224 and G2532 abominable G111 idolatries: G1495 [4] wherein G1722 G3739 they think it strange G3579 that G4936 ye G5216 run G4936 not G3361 with G4936 them to G1519 the G3588 same G846 excess G401 of riot, G810 speaking evil of G987 you: [5] who G3739 shall give G591 account G3056 to him that G3588 is G2192 ready G2093 to judge G2919 the quick G2198 and G2532 the dead. G3498 [6] For G1063 for G1519 this cause G5124 was the gospel preached G2097 also G2532 to them that are dead, G3498 that G2443 they might be judged G2919 G3303 according to G2596 men G444 in the flesh, G4561 but G1161 live G2198 according to G2596 God G2316 in the spirit. G4151 [7] But G1161 the G3588 end G5056 of all things G3956 is at hand: G1448 be ye G4993 therefore G3767 sober, G4993 and G2532 watch G3525 unto G1519 prayer. G4335 [8] And G1161 above G4253 all things G3956 have G2192 fervent G1618 charity G26 among G1519 yourselves: G1438 for G3754 charity G26 shall§ cover G2572 the multitude G4128 of sins. G266 [9] Use hospitality G5382 one G240 to G1519 another G240 without G427 grudging. G1112 [10] As G2531 every man G1538 hath received G2983 the gift, G5486 even so minister G1247 the same G846 one G1438 to G1519 another, G1438 as G5613 good G2570 stewards G3623 of the manifold G4164 grace G5485 of God. G2316 [11] If G1487 any man G5100 speak, G2980 let him speak as G5613 the oracles G3051 of God; G2316 if G1487 any man G5100 minister, G1247 let him do it as G5613 of G1537 the ability G2479 which G3739 God G2316 giveth: G5524 that G2443 God G2316 in G1722 all things G3956 may be glorified G1392 through G1223 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 to whom G3739 be G2076 praise G1391 and G2532 dominion G2904 for G1519 ever G165 and ever. G165 Amen. G281 [12] Beloved, G27 think it G3579 not G3361 strange G3579 concerning the G3588 G1722 G5213 fiery trial G4451 which G1096 is G1096 to G4314 try G3986 you, G5213 as though G5613 some strange thing G3581 happened G4819 unto you: G5213 [13] but G235 rejoice, G5463 inasmuch as G2526 ye are partakers G2841 of Christ’s G5547 sufferings; G3804 that, G2443 when G1722 his G846 glory G1391 shall be revealed, G602 ye may be glad G5463 also G2532 with exceeding joy. G21 [14] If G1487 ye be reproached G3679 for G1722 the name G3686 of Christ, G5547 happy G3107 are ye; for G3754 the G3588 spirit G4151 of glory G1391 and G2532 of God G2316 resteth G373 upon G1909 you: G5209 on G2596 G3303 their G846 part he is evil spoken of, G987 but G1161 on G2596 your G5209 part he is glorified. G1392 [15] But G1063 let G3958 none G3361 G5100 of you G5216 suffer G3958 as G5613 a murderer, G5406 or G2228 as a thief, G2812 or G2228 as an evildoer, G2555 or G2228 as G5613 a busybody in other men’s matters. G244 [16] Yet G1161 if G1487 any man suffer as G5613 a Christian, G5546 let him G153 not G3361 be ashamed; G153 but G1161 let him glorify G1392 God G2316 on G1722 this G5129 behalf. G3313 [17] For G3754 the G3588 time G2540 is come that G3588 judgment G2917 must begin G756 at G575 the G3588 house G3624 of God: G2316 and G1161 if G1487 it first G4412 begin at G575 us, G2257 what G5101 shall the G3588 end G5056 be of them that G3588 obey not G544 the G3588 gospel G2098 of God? G2316 [18] And G2532 if G1487 the G3588 righteous G1342 scarcely G3433 be saved, G4982 where G4226 shall G5316 the G3588 ungodly G765 and G2532 the sinner G268 appear? G5316 [19] Wherefore G5620 let G3908 them that G3588 suffer G3958 according to G2596 the G3588 will G2307 of God G2316 commit the keeping G3908 of their G1438 souls G5590 to him in G1722 well doing, G16 as G5613 unto a faithful G4103 Creator. G2939
