King James Version
Therefore,
since
Christ suffered in His
body
, arm yourselves with the same resolve,
because
anyone
who
has
suffered in his
body
is
done
with
sin .
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 ;
Consequently,
he does
not
live out
his remaining
time on
earth
for
human
passions
, but for
the will of God.
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.
For you
have
spent
enough
time
in
the past carrying
out
the same
desires
as
the Gentiles :
living
in debauchery
, lust
, drunkenness
, orgies
, carousing
, and detestable
idolatry.
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:
Because
of
this,
they consider
it strange of
you
not to
plunge
with them into
the same flood
of reckless
indiscretion
, and
they
heap
abuse
on
you .
Wherein
they think
it strange that
ye
run
not with them to
the same excess
of riot
, speaking
evil
of
you :
But
they
will
have
to
give an
account to Him who
is ready to judge the living
and the dead.
Who
shall
give account to him that
is ready to judge the quick
and the dead.
That
is
why
the gospel was
preached even
to those
who
are now
dead, so
that they might be judged as
men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
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.
The end of all things is near.
Therefore
be clear-minded
and
sober, so
that
you
can
pray
.
But
the end of all things is at
hand:
be ye
therefore
sober, and
watch
unto
prayer
.
Above all ,
love
one
another
deeply,
because
love
covers
over
a
multitude of sins.
And
above all things
have
fervent
charity
among
yourselves:
for
charity
shall
cover
the
multitude of sins.
Show
hospitality to
one another without complaining
.
Use
hospitality one to
another without grudging
.
As good stewards of the manifold grace of God ,
each
of
you
should
use
whatever
gift
he
has
received
to
serve
one
another
.
As every
man
hath
received
the
gift,
even
so
minister
the
same
one
to
another,
as
good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
If anyone
speaks
, he
should
speak as one
conveying
the words
of God .
If anyone
serves
, he
should
serve
with
the strength
God provides,
so
that in all things God
may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be the
glory
and the
power
forever
and ever. Amen.
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.
Beloved, do
not be
surprised
at
the fiery trial that
has
come
upon
you, as though something
strange were
happening
to
you .
Beloved, think
it
not strange
concerning
the fiery trial which
is
to
try
you, as though some
strange thing
happened
unto
you :
But rejoice that
you
share
in
the
sufferings
of
Christ
, so
that
you
may
be
overjoyed
at
the
revelation
of His glory.
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
.
If you
are
insulted
for the name of Christ, you
are blessed,
because
the Spirit of glory and of God rests
on
you.
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
.
Indeed,
none of you should
suffer as a murderer or thief or wrongdoer
, or even
as a meddler
.
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
.
But
if you
suffer as a Christian, do
not be ashamed ,
but glorify God that
you
bear
that
name
.
Yet
if any
man
suffer as a Christian, let
him
not be ashamed ;
but let
him
glorify God on
this
behalf
.
For it
is
time for
judgment to
begin with
the family
of God ;
and if it begins
with
us, what will
the outcome
be for
those
who
disobey
the gospel of God?
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?
And ,
“
If it
is
hard
for
the righteous to
be saved, what
will
become
of
the ungodly and the sinner? ”
And if the righteous scarcely
be saved, where
shall
the ungodly and the sinner appear
?
So
then,
those
who
suffer according to God’s
will should
entrust
their souls to their
faithful Creator and
continue
to
do
good
.
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.
