1 Peter 4 (WEBP)

[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.

1 Peter 4 (KJVS)

[1] Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered () for us in the flesh, arm () yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered () in the flesh hath ceased () from sin;
[2] that he no longer should live () the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
[3] For the time past () of our life may suffice us to have wrought () the will of the Gentiles, when we walked () in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:
[4] wherein they think it strange () that ye run () not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of () you:
[5] who shall give () account to him that is () ready to judge () the quick () and the dead.
[6] For for this cause was the gospel preached () also to them that are dead, that they might be judged () according to men in the flesh, but live () according to God in the spirit.
[7] But the end of all things is at hand: () be ye therefore sober, () and watch () unto prayer.
[8] And above all things have () fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover () the multitude of sins.
[9] Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
[10] As every man hath received () the gift, even so minister () the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
[11] If any man speak, () let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, () let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: () that God in all things may be glorified () through Jesus Christ to whom be () praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
[12] Beloved, think it not strange () concerning the fiery trial which is () to try you, as though some strange thing happened () unto you:
[13] but rejoice, () inasmuch as ye are partakers () of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad () also with exceeding joy. ()
[14] If ye be reproached () for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth () upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, () but on your part he is glorified. ()
[15] But let none of you suffer () as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters.
[16] Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; () but let him glorify () God on this behalf.
[17] For the time is come that judgment must begin () at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not () the gospel of God?
[18] And if the righteous scarcely be saved, () where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? ()
[19] Wherefore let them that suffer () according to the will of God commit the keeping () of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
